Born to Ruin

Shake my glass
Remember the past
It wasn’t that long ago
It feels like years though
First time in a bar in a town you don’t know
Everyone’s a cop or criminal
Or some mix of both
Chase the light to the edge of the knife
I’ve heard
It’s the only way to keep things alive
Just to see if they flinch
Do they care if they die?
Is it worth the redemption?
Do you think that I would lie?
Go on, try me —
I wasn’t made to fail
I was born to ruin
To derail and prevail
Sick of hearing excuses
Sick of hearing your voice
Where you die is your business
Don’t make it mine
Wrap me in the flag
Bury me deep
This body is worthless
My spirit needs sleep
Over the limit
Over the line
Born to ruin
Born to die
The things that I believe
Will mean everything in the end
I know it’s the truth because it tells me so
It shows me in ways I could never describe
And still the true revelation hides from my eyes
