Inside The Ruins
Verse 1
There are things i would never say to you
Not because i dont want you to know but
Surely to keep you from the hurt
I know you care, i know you're there
And i would not be left astray
But isn't it wicked that i still keep you away
From all of this weary baggage while I decay?
Chorus
Cold whispers, inside my mind
Storm ignites, pulling me under
Secrets weigh, heavier than a lifeless body
Fear creeps in, leaving chills in the bones
When I shut my eyes, walls come closing in
And that's when I want to give up breathing
Verse 2
Longing for the fear of losing you to disappear
And the fear of not finding myself to ignite
Afterall in the end it's me I have to live with
Everything and everyone else will be just a blur
Far far away into some distant memory
Oh I know all these years i gave away
They will come back to haunt me
Remind me of the things I let go to waste
Maybe only then, will I learn to breathe again
Chorus
Cold whispers, inside my mind
Storm ignites, pulling me under
Secrets weigh, heavier than a lifeless body
Fear creeps in, leaving chills in the bones
When I shut my eyes, walls come closing in
And that's when I want to give up breathing
Outro
Innocence turned into ashes
Burned down by the million distractions
I don't even recognize my own reflection
Trapped inside the ruins of someone I once used to be
There are things i would never say to you
Not because i dont want you to know but
Surely to keep you from the hurt
I know you care, i know you're there
And i would not be left astray
But isn't it wicked that i still keep you away
From all of this weary baggage while I decay?
Chorus
Cold whispers, inside my mind
Storm ignites, pulling me under
Secrets weigh, heavier than a lifeless body
Fear creeps in, leaving chills in the bones
When I shut my eyes, walls come closing in
And that's when I want to give up breathing
Verse 2
