about

This was my first full production experiment with Justus West. I sent him an a cappella track of this song (just my vocals) and told him about the creepy vibe I was going for. What I got back blew my mind and kicked off this entire album.

lyrics

Welcome
This is what’s left of my heart
I know you’ve wanted in here for years
So welcome
Sit in my chair, look at my art
Never mind the flame-licked drapes or shattered chandelier

Kick off your shoes
Stay awhile and sing the blues with me
But before you do
Heed my warning

I’m a ruin
I only haunt this heart
I would give my soul, but it’s already gone
I will have you because I’m lonely
But I will use you up, and make a ruin of you

Listen
You can’t clean up this place
I mean, I’ll let you try if you want to
But listen, you have a beautiful face
It’s not the one I want, but I can make due

Go hang your coat
Stay awhile and tell a joke for me
Make yourself at home
But I will say I told you so

I’m a ruin
I only haunt this heart
I would give you my soul, but it’s already gone
I will have you if you ask me
But I will use you up, and make a ruin of you

You don’t have to live like this
You deserve every happiness I once knew
Joy, commitment
With your body to thee worship
Children, and years of bliss

For me there will be no more bells
I am just a shell
And this is my living hell

I’m a ruin
I only haunt this heart
I would give my soul, but it’s already gone
I will have you because I’m weak
But I will use you up, and make a ruin of you

I’m a ruin
And I’ll make a ruin of you
