Ruins Lyrics - The Dark Leaves - Matt Pond Pa

Were you just being funny 

When you cut down my tree? 

I was hanging my hat there 

On a bent knee 

Were you just being clever? 

There's so much I don't know 

I'll be tracing my outline 

In the sunshine 

I got hit with the handle 

When you split through my coats 

Now I'm searching through empty pockets 

They fill me up with your ghost 

I'll make a ladder 

Climb these words here 

Take it higher 

Oh, have mercy

Were you just being funny 

When you put me to sleep? 

I was staring the sky down 

Through the dark leaves 

I'll make a ladder 

Climb these words here 

Take it higher 

Oh, have mercy 

If it matters 

I'll knock the dust off 

Clean my curses 

Please, have mercy 

You make and break me a million pieces 

Let 'em shine, let 'em shine 

You push, you tear the walls around me 

Ruins in the starry skies 

Photos 

You make and break me a million pieces 

Let 'em shine, let 'em shine 

You push, you tear the walls around me 

Ruins under starry skies 

Were you just being funny 

Were you just being funny 

Now we're disappearing 

Strictly speaking the vague lines of ghosts 

You were talking 'bout heaven 

All I see is unknown 

Through clouds, surrendering reason 

The emptiness keeps us afloat 

You were talking 'bout heaven 

All I see is unknown
