lyrics

Burn me to the ground that I call my place of refuge
The only rest I get is that of rain pouring over my wounds

Burn me up
Destroy what I've made myself to be

Tear out the rotting oak that has held me firm for years
And I never thought that I'd see the light of the sun again
The scorching feels good on my faded eyes

The trees have been my shelter
They're rotting from abuse
The forest groaning with movement
Rejoice, rejoice
The trees they hate my groaning
They're eager for destruction
Looking for ways to fell me
Rejoice, rejoice

I am ruined

I am ruined
For the first time I will fall
I will fall

A pile of rubble has kept me from falling through the years
Adding frail piece after frail piece, in hopes
That I would gain stature once again

The trees have been my shelter
They're rotting from abuse
The forest groaning with movement
Rejoice, rejoice
The trees they hate my groaning
They're eager for destruction
Looking for ways to fell me
Rejoice, rejoice

I am ruined
