Ruin - Seinabo Sey

I escaped you right on time

Can’t be partner in this crime

Stars shot down the remnants of my dreams

Kiss like on a silver screen

Cotton fields and beauty queens

Nothing here was ever as it seems

Time has come to leave the line

I can’t sign your pledge this time

Madness bred across the land as we

Saw the devil hat of tricks

We have cloves and crucifix

He who stands for nothing, falls alone

You tighten the row

Watch the seasons grow

You have made it clear

Nothing for me here

Said to each his own

We all stand alone

I’m just a brick in your ruin of love

I’m just a brick in your ruin of love

I’m just a brick in your ruin of love

We have played these strings attached

Out of key, we didn’t last

Sunset in our never-ending sea

I held onto broken parts

Love is but a poisoned dart

Drenched in kerosene, I still believe

You tighten the row

Watch the seasons grow

You have made it clear

Nothing for me here

Said to each his own

We all stand alone

I’m just a brick in your ruin of love

I’m just a brick in your ruin of love

I’m just a brick in your ruin of love

There is nothing more I need to say

There is nothing more I need to say

I’ll forgive you, but it’s not that day

There is nothing more I need to say

There is nothing more I need to say

I’ll forgive you, but it’s not that day
