lyrics

Born to Ruin
It seems we’re out of time but it’s murder to reset my mind. It pains me to know this is the end, not sure I’ll see you as a friend. Remember the time that you said out thing was pure and fantastic, now measures are drastic, self-preservation.
I don’t know what we’re doing ‘cause fools like us were born to ruin. Last Easter tour out with the band you closed the car door on my hand. We shovelled the snow and all week I was perpetually plastered, a walking disaster but we still made it.
It’s so obvious “ABC”, there’s nothing like surrogate family. I’ll take on oblivion with you next to me and we won’t be accused of not trying.
Now I’m not black and blue, we’ve decimated all taboos yet still it seems I’m born to lose and you still play a role in this ongoing show. We’ll rebuild all the libraries, burn the diaries cause we’ve no fear anymore.
