Ruin

My dreams were a temple
Dedicated to fantasy

Built on a wishful imagination
Doomed to last for centuries

Not everyone has fallen into ruin yet

Plot a course around all the blasé hearts
And easy pleasures
You’ll have to get past the scimitars guarding my heart

Not everyone has fallen into ruin yet

Beauty is rare and I’m impatient
Left lonely with this ferocity
The jungle grows and swallows me

I’ve offered too many more than they deserved
The joke is most didn’t even care
Kismet just isn’t in my destiny

Not everyone has fallen into ruin yet
