Today, I climb the highest mountain I have ever climbed

And I turn, to look at ruins I had left behind

And you, where were you so far removed from any truth

I lost you

Didn't I?

First I think I lost myself



Children

Then and forever locked in a memory

Olden

That mirror searching for some kind of certainty

That you were just the same as everyone

But you were wrong

And it hurt you

Didn't it?

All you couldn't be



Ruins

Ohhh

Ruins

Ohhh



I tried to hold on to some kind of dignity

Too long I waded through a vast and endless sea

Thinking, I could find the secret there within

But I gave up

Did not seem the only way



Ruins

All the things we built assured that they would last

Ending months ticket stubs, and written notes and photographs

Where are you and here somewhere I cannot go

I'm sorry

I am

But I don't take it back

And in the night I hear your voice

Sometimes but it quickly passes

In dreams I saw what I had thought

Could be some kind of answer

You try and try and try until you cannot try no more

Captured in our own



Ruins

Ohhh

Ruins

Ohhh

Ruins
