Ruins
Don't try to call
There are some bridges that burn
Beyond recognition
Beyond repair
Don't say you've changed
There are some forces that turn
Beyond recollection, beyond my stare
When I feel the cold in the dark
I know you're there

Long ago
I was a woman in pain
A woman in need
I ran to you
Long ago
I did not understand
You were making me bleed
I ran to you
When I feel the cold in the dark
I know what you do
I will crawl through my past
Over stones, blood and glass
In the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense
In the ruins

I know your heart
Has held its own fear
It's perfectly clear
What they did to you
But in my heart
It's the screaming I hear
I won't let them come near
Since my love knew you
When I feel the cold in the dark
I remember you

I will crawl through my past
Over stones, blood and glass
In the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense
In the ruins

Night after night
I am carving it out
I will carry it down
To the waterside
Night after night
I am hearing the sound
Of wings that come beating
I will not hide
When I feel the cold in the dark
I will know why
But I will crawl through my past
Over stones, blood and glass
In the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense
In the ruins

But if I am to heal
I must first learn to feel
In the ruins
I will crawl
I will crawl
I will crawl
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
