Ruins Lyrics

Lost all the day, a brains escape
it just can erase it

and robbing graves of kings and slaves
wipe out an oasis

is there really anything to be ashamed of?
or is it something radiant and smart

and even ruins can all be ruined
wasting what is wasting
and even ruins can all be ruined
wasting what is wasted, taking what is taken

i am an ending
i am an infant
ive never really done anything
i am an ending
at the beginning
i've never really laid anything at your feet.

and history, insanity
a world is distracted

like or unlike all my parents
i don't want to escape it.
like or unlike all my parents
i might lack the inspiration

and even ruins can all be ruined
wasting what is wasting
and even ruins can all be ruined
wasting what is wasted, taking what is taken,

i am an ending
i am an infant
i've never really done anything
i am an ending
at the beginning
i've never really laid anything at your feet.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
