ragged oak - in ruins lyrics

Loading...

cafes are the same wherever you go
the beatles on the radio
and the smell of a cappuccino

all that changes are the accents
and accents of
feelings, and friendship, and fire, and sentiment
and a different bitterness in my coffee
a different steam as i walk to the shoreline
and stare and an aisle of mists
ready to be swallowed

the sea sings a song while it batters a lighthouse
no longer glimmering
only remembering
when he approaches
nearsighted for his age, and says
“the world is your enemy, and it′s ending soon”
and i’m quiet

i think of the sickness of facelessness
the one we give ourselves
of payment for unkindness
in tip jars and cubicle cells
and i watch the livestock graze by the sea
while he says
“have you nothing to say of this world that we′re ending?”
and i watch as his words sink into the sea
into the sea

now he follows them down
to grab them and throw them back at me
i said “don’t mistake my silence for stupidity”
and i see his words
in a perception where decay is the enemy

and i know that our minds will wither and fall
but then they turn green
like a hill with a lighthouse
seen too many centuries
hey+ay

one day these too will be ruins
one day these too will be ruins
one day these too will be ruins
one day these too will be ruins

one day these too will be ruins
one day these too will be ruins
one day these too will be ruins
one day these too will be ruins
