Allowing waves of sorrow to wash right through me
Trying to dissolve into something more
The whirlwind of desires and intentions
Flowing in it's endless spiral path
To nowhere
Trapped in a static field
Of ruin and pain
Forced to witness the rot
Hope only destroys
We will never absolve ourselves
The future holds nothing for us
Inevitability of demise
The constant entropy
The cracks expand
Fumes from the furnace rise
We seek to return from a place we will never leave
That which you yearn is forever gone
For we consumed it
I ruined myself in an attempt to understand you
The weight of us is too much
I can't escape the wreckage
There is no escaping us
I've already ruined myself
As you and all have
We ruined each other
As we poisoned the wells
And burnt down the home of our elders
As we blackened the sky
And disgorged the earth beneath us
As we choked our own children
And bled the last stone dry
All of the fragrances of youth
Have long ceased to exist
The bitter taste of poison remains
The stench of decay lingers
All I see in ruin
All I see is ruin
Trying to dissolve into something more
The whirlwind of desires and intentions
Flowing in it's endless spiral path
To nowhere
Trapped in a static field
Of ruin and pain
Forced to witness the rot
Hope only destroys
We will never absolve ourselves
The future holds nothing for us
Inevitability of demise
The constant entropy
The cracks expand
Fumes from the furnace rise
We seek to return from a place we will never leave
That which you yearn is forever gone
For we consumed it
I ruined myself in an attempt to understand you
The weight of us is too much
I can't escape the wreckage
There is no escaping us
I've already ruined myself
As you and all have
We ruined each other
As we poisoned the wells
And burnt down the home of our elders
As we blackened the sky
And disgorged the earth beneath us
As we choked our own children
And bled the last stone dry
All of the fragrances of youth
Have long ceased to exist
The bitter taste of poison remains
The stench of decay lingers
All I see in ruin
All I see is ruin
