The Ruins - How to Dress Well.mp3

[00:12.698] If it were a dream I’d let it have me, even if it ended badly
[00:19.290] If it left me unhappy, I’d do it all again gladly
[00:25.322] When we were younger she would ask me
[00:28.626] How people become so nasty
[00:31.823] When they all start out so softly
[00:35.061] Just how much life can really cost me?
[00:39.404] Count the hours since you left home
[00:41.736] Counted all night, all night, all night
[00:45.621] World’s crying on the telephone
[00:48.022] Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[00:52.000] I count the hours and the seconds too
[00:54.691] I stayed up all night, all night, all night
[00:58.386] When the floor hit the telephone
[01:00.863] You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[01:10.229] Yeah
[01:18.237] What is really truly caring? It’s a blurry line
[01:24.334] All the people staring is what I had always in mind
[01:30.893] I should want more than this
[01:37.155] But, oh, there’s a sickness in my flesh
[01:42.753] See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
[01:45.744] See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
[01:49.083] See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
[01:52.012] See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
[01:55.378] Been this feeling in me my whole damn life
[01:58.207] You put your hand under my chin say, "You gon’ be fine
[02:01.476] If you end up breaking on down, just do it all online
[02:04.381] I’ll watch you fall away like it was no fault of mine"
[02:09.157] Count the hours since you left home
[02:11.509] Counted all night, all night, all night
[02:15.458] World’s crying on the telephone
[02:17.800] Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[02:21.754] I hear a dog barking, energy
[02:24.046] Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild
[02:28.301] When the floor hit the telephone
[02:30.508] You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[02:47.459] If the world wasn't crazy
[02:49.797] And no one was broken in the ruins
[02:52.724] If we couldn’t hear the people gasping
[02:56.006] Couldn’t see the people trapped there
[02:59.320] It’s not about interpretation, just the present situation
[03:05.519] I’m amazed we have the patience
[03:08.576] I can’t believe you had the patience
[03:11.892] I was with a boy when he went crazy
[03:15.041] Took the car we driving in and crashed it
[03:18.448] No one understand what happens
[03:21.490] Until you see that shit happen
[03:24.585] If it were a drug, I’d let it take me
[03:27.907] And course through my veins and use my body
[03:30.978] Makin' me feel like I am nothing
[03:34.329] Makin' me feel like I am nothing
[03:41.930] Count the hours since you left home
[03:44.276] Counted all night, all night, all night
[03:48.339] World’s crying on the telephone
[03:50.701] Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[03:54.591] I hear a dog barking, energy
[03:56.645] Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild
[04:00.831] When the floor hit the telephone
[04:03.182] You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[04:07.575] Count the hours since you left home
[04:09.832] Counted all night, all night, all night
[04:13.790] World’s crying on the telephone
[04:16.301] Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
[04:20.169] I hear a dog barking, energy
[04:22.727] Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild
[04:26.759] When the floor hit the telephone
[04:30.368] You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
