My Name Is Ruin

when they called me broken, i knew / when they called me evil, i knew
when they called me Ruin, i knew / i would always find my way to you

when i begged forgiveness, they knew / when i begged for mercy, they knew
when i begged for nothing, they knew / i would always find my way to you

my name is Ruin / my name is vengeance / my name is no one / and no one is calling
my name is Ruin / my name is heartbreak / my name is lonely / my sorrow's a darkness
my name is Ruin / my name is evil / my name's a war song / (i'll sing you a new war)
my name is Ruin / my name is broken / my name is shameless / i'll tear your world open

when I called you poison, you knew / when i called you shameful, you knew
when I called you liar, you knew / i would always find my way to you

i'll show you ruin / i'll show you vengeance / i'll show you no one / and no one is calling
i'll show you ruin / i'll show you heartbreak / i'll show you lonely / a sorrow in darkness
i'll show you ruin / i'll show you evil / i'll sing you a war song / (i'll sing you a new war)
i'll show you ruin / i'll show you broken / i'll show you shameless / i'll tear your world open

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more

If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings

If I had a voice I would sing

Dangling feet from window frame
Will they ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more

Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside
Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more

If I had a voice I would sing

Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me 'cause I'm the one not laughing
Down here on the floor
Deflate the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I'll dream you wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
'Cause I can't let you go
Mercy, like water in a desert
Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now

It's like I'm racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you
Like I'm racing not to run, give me more when I have none
'Cause I'm afraid I will be left here without you
 

Secret World
I stood in this unsheltered place
'Til I could see the face behind the face
All that had gone before had left no trace

Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
All the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air

Did you think you didn't have to choose it?
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

In this house of make believe
Divided in two, like Adam and Eve
You put out and I recieve

Oh the wheel is turning spinning round and round
And the house is crumbling but the stairways stand

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
Whatever it is, we are all the same

Making it up in our secret world
Shaking it up
Breaking it up
Making it up in our secret world

Seeing things that were not there
On a wing on a prayer
In this state of disrepair

Shh, listen...
