Ruins

Ruins - Aloha

the cupboard is bare

I've been watering the fields

that I should be harvesting

treatments come

I never turn the page

months are a mistake

it's like 29 days

keep my daybook clean

I'm never ready to leave

keep my calendar clear

I'm not going anywhere

I walk in the stagnant sun

a chemical reaction if there ever was one

I fought the tyrannical sun

I try to forget, but your memory won

I walk among the ruins

I tried to forget but I couldn't do it

the cupboards are bare

I've been hunting things

when I should be gathering

weekends are a waste

I never leave the grounds

the weekend can break me

it's like 24 hours

keep my good days free

keep my eyes closed please

to everything, everything

I fought the tyrannical sun

try to forget, but your memory won

I fought the tyrannical sun

I try to forget you, but your memory won

I walk among the ruins

I tried to forget but I couldn't do it

I've been seeing the signs of my surrender

I've got backed up and nobody can send it

I've been seeing the end

I've been seeing the signs of no direction

got backed up and nobody can send it

I've been seeing the end, seeing the end

we were giants on a plywood stage

in the evenings I was your household name

And for a little while I knew

all the words you'd say

coming from the movie

hold me for the credits

I was just beyond camera

right outside the frame

waiting for a getaway car

that never came

at the end of the story

I was just beyond camera

right outside the frame

waiting for a getaway car

that never came

waiting for a getaway car

that never came

waiting for a getaway car

that never came
