Building A Ruin |
| My life is a sentence that carries no pardon |
| I can’t put you out of my misery now |
| So stunned by the beauty of this madhouse garden |
| I’ve taken my chances then lost them somehow |
| This body’s a temple, a shoddy construction |
| I’m digging my grave while boring the well |
| I’m paving a path to my own self-destruction |
| I won’t be content 'til I see me in Hell |
| No I won’t be content 'til I see me in Hell |
| I’ve looked back on my time, the names and the faces |
| A child long ago that I nearly forgot |
| And felt like someone who’d just stepped on the place |
| Where the last stair should have been, then found it was not |
| Life’s just a process of delamination |
| Stripping your hopes, dissecting them gently |
| I’ve opened my heart and to my consternation |
| When I peered inside it was small, dark and empty |
| My friends turn to me |
| Wonder what I am doing |
| Drinking and smoking like somebody died |
| I said: «Leave me alone |
| I’m just building a ruin |
| The spirits are sunken so the wreckage must rise» |
| (I'm building a ruin) |
| I’m building a ruin |
| (I ruin a building) |
| I ruin a building |
| (I'm building a ruin) |
| My bridges are burned out |
| (I ruin a building) |
| My tunnels are filled in |
| It’s all a game I believe |
| The longer you play it, the harder it gets |
| The most I can hope to achieve now’s my breakfast |
| A priest with a blindfold and last cigarette |
| My friends turn to me |
| Wonder what I am doing |
| Drinking and smoking like somebody died |
| I said: «Leave me alone |
| I’m just building a ruin |
| The spirits are sunken so the wreckage must rise» |
| I won’t be content 'til I see me in Hell |
