The Ruin of Everything

Lay in patterns
Old triggers set in stone
Dragging old wounds
Compulsive turn

Slipped one time
And I can't live without
The need will outweigh the gain

Can't fight this
When I let it in my life
Greed is the ruin of everything

Live in dollar signs
And confined behind a wall
Can't relate to anyone
Who has no coin

Slipped one time
And I can't live without
The need will outweigh the gain

Can't fight this
When I let it in my life
Greed is the ruin of everything

Hate living this way
When it's only give or take
Vindictive pride I own
Long road to ruin

Slipped one time
And I can't live without
The need will outweigh the gain

Can't fight this
When I let it in my life
Greed is the ruin of everything
