Born to Ruin - A Pregnant Light

Shake my glass

Remember the past

It wasn’t that long ago

It feels like years though

First time in a bar in a town you don’t know

Everyone’s a cop or criminal

Or some mix of both

Chase the light to the edge of the knife

I’ve heard

It’s the only way to keep things alive

Just to see if they flinch

Do they care if they die?

Is it worth the redemption?

Do you think that I would lie?

Go on, try me —

I wasn’t made to fail

I was born to ruin

To derail and prevail

Sick of hearing excuses

Sick of hearing your voice

Where you die is your business

Don’t make it mine

Wrap me in the flag

Bury me deep

This body is worthless

My spirit needs sleep

Over the limit

Over the line

Born to ruin

Born to die

The things that I believe

Will mean everything in the end

I know it’s the truth because it tells me so

It shows me in ways I could never describe

And still the true revelation hides from my eyes
