Today I climb 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
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 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 Did not seem 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
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
