Intro Verse Today, I climbed the highest mountain I have ever climbed And I turn, to look at ruins I had left behind And you, where were you so far removed from any truth I lost you, didn't I? But first I think I lost myself Children, then and forever locked in a memory Olden, that mirror searching for some kind of certainty That you were just the same as everyone But you were wrong And it hurt you, didn't it? All you couldn't be Ruins Ohhh Ruins Ohhh Verse I tried to hold on to some kind of dignity Too long I waded through a vast and endless sea Thinking, I could find the secret there within But I gave up, didn't I? Seemed the only way Ruins, all the things we built assured that they would last Ending months ticket stubs, and written notes and photographs Where are you and here somewhere I cannot go I'm sorry, I am But I don't take it back Bridge And in the night I hear your voice Sometimes but it quickly passes In dreams I saw what I had thought Could be some kind of answer You try and try and try until you cannot try no more Captured in our own Ruins Ohhh Ruins Ohhh Ruins N.C. Ohhh N.C. Ruins
