I Am The Ruin

I've been driving through the dark for way too long
Cheap motel signs and roads that lead me wrong
Something's following me wherever I go
And it knows every sin I've tried to hide

I've lit the match, I've drawn the line
But the fire's always been inside
I know the devil's game by heart
I wrote the rules from the start

I am the ruin, I am the flame
I burned it all and I've got no one else to blame
No God, no savior, no way back home
I am the ruin, I stand alone

I remember when the night felt like a friend
Before the darkness bent me in the end
Now every face I trust just turns to smoke and ash
And I'm the one who poured the gas and watched it crash

I've seen the bottom, I've kissed the ground
I've worn the crown of the almost-drowned
There's nothing left for me to save
So let it burn down to the grave

I am the ruin, I am the flame
I burned it all and I've got no one else to blame
No God, no savior, no way back home
I am the ruin, I stand alone

I look in the mirror and I don't know that face
Just a ghost of the boy who got lost in the chase
I've been running from myself my whole damn life
Now I'm done — I'll let the darkness be my guide

I am the ruin, I am the flame
I burned it all and I've got no one else to blame
No God, no savior, no way back home
I am the ruin, I stand alone
