Lyrics RUINS - Sleater-Kinney

RUINS

And just before midnight
You came into our room
A demon so frightening
Both ancient and new
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
You’re a creature of sorrow
You’re the beast we made
You scratch at our sadness
'Til we’re broken and frayed
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster’s made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Do you feast on nostalgia?
Take pleasure from pain
Look out 'cause the children
Will learn your real name
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster’s made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster’s made
Nothing left but ruins at the end of the day
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster’s made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster’s made
Nothing left but ruins at the end of the day
