Now Ruin Is Lyrics

Cushioned by an alliance of malfunction and ridicule
Days count down, friends rust, from exposure to exposure
I'm realizing that I am (am), am the waste
The waste of reason
I am the waste
Clean and serene
I am the waste
The dirtiest being
I am the waste

I'm the alchemist in reverse
I lost all I was

And I never felt this sick
Bellyful of rocks rise to throat
This image never looked uglier
I'm not fooling anyone

Neither earth nor sky will grant
I would love for it to end
Misplaced my childhood, I overlooked inertia

This piercing stare holds more than lies
I've now married to the thought

This is not just ink on the paper
Now drenched in life's blood
Now drenched in life's bitter blood

Stagnant relation of space and self
Staggering toward my ruination

These are all just actions to entertain the eye
Hell of a screenplay

Who I am? (who I am?)
Empty arms make me a leper (empty arms make me a leper)

Now ruin is my skill
I will never be happy

I would die to hide
Try to find a shortcut to love

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.
