Ian Petch Poet Lyric

Ruins

Every me that’s leapt into the sun
They left me here, to find what I become
My temple falling through my hands
But I let it go, because I finally understand

Betrayal takes me to the end
Repaying life, I repay and then I’m dead
Sweet fruits that decorate my mind
Then bitterness, I have one taste and then life dies

Sandcastles placed along the shore
The tide has come, and I have to save them all
Temptation in an ashen breeze
Release the fire, and then just spread the seeds

My head still crawls beyond the doors
My sanity, my reason is barely still recalled
My fear still shackles up my pain
But the demon smiles, knowing it’s driving me insane

Can’t reason with the things I know
Just let me sleep, either way I turn to stone
Can’t pray for whatever I become
I am just here, wherever I can come undone

Everything that’s led me to these eyes
Well my strength has grown, but now I cannot cry
My temple ruined in the dirt
But I let it go, for me, because I realise it can’t hurt
