My Darling Ruin

[MC Eric B]

My Darling Ruin - By MC Eric B
===========================

I walk the streets at night
with a bottle in my hand
this life of pain and misery
is not what I had planned

Tried to climb that ladder
reaching for the golden ring
but a target's on the back
of a man who would be king

Ashes to ashes
flesh to dust
crawl from the wreckage
when it all goes bust

Chorus
===========================
How the mighty
have fallen
there's a gunfight at high noon
hello, my good friend ruin

Say hello to my darling ruin
===========================

I stare into the mirror
and see cloudy skies of grey
the house of cards it tumbles
when they just take one away

You can try to change direction
but you can't erase the past
pray to God for foregiveness
when the final die is cast

Dreams to nightmares
hope to despair
drown in your sorrows
gasping for air


Chorus
===========================
Sometimes it will hit you
like an earthquake
or typhoon
say hello to my darling ruin

How the mighty
they have fallen
just howling at the moon
hello, my friend ruin

Say hello to my darling ruin
============================

My darling ruin,
My work of art.
I had your ending planned,
Before your start.

I want to control you,
And give you the life,
That I always wanted,
Though I never tried.

My life experiment,
Failed twice in a row.
Why not listen to me?
It's like I don't know.

You're not what I wanted.
You're not what I need.
You're not taking orders.
You're too much like me.

So now it's all fucked up.
You're happier still.
You're living your own life,
While mine's unfulfilled.

[EmbersOfAutumn]

I came home, I got the note sitting on my table.
From you to me, you said to me, you’re finally, moving on.
This kind of caught me by surprise.
There were things about me you didn’t like, but I guess now you just despise.
You wrote how much you hate to say it but you need a brand new start
Well, I hope your happy now, cause heaven knows you stabbed me through the heart.

CHORUS:
My darling, my ruin, my everything
My loving mistake and my life
I gave my all but then
all that you could give to me
was your goodbye.

So I guess our story’s over, guess I'll put this pen away
Save this ink and paper for a rainy day.
Seems like the warmth of Summer’s turning into Fall
And I think soon Winter’s gonna call.
So let the snow come down and cover me with white
Maybe if it cools this burning heart, I’ll be alright.
Anything that takes the edge off of all the words you said
Anything that gets you out of my head.

[spinlock]

Better build your riches in heaven
Where they cannot rot or fade
Cos My Darling Ruin is waiting here
To rain on your parade

She haunts every investment
Smirks at every deal
Giggles as you raise the stakes
And ask to spin the wheel

It just takes a minute
Only one mistake
Youthful indiscretion
And you've sealed your fate

And just when you think you'll make it through
She turns up to twist another screw
See her smile
All you have is misery

You better build your riches in heaven
Cos you cannot know the day
When my darling ruin will come for you
Or the price that you will pay

It just takes a minute
Only one mistake
Left your world in tatters
Ah ah ah ah oh yeah

Better build your riches in heaven
Cos she's off and wants to play
Now My Darling Ruin is after you
There is nowhere safe to stay

She's the first resort of the vengeful
With a passion so unreal
Give up now, there's no escape

[Märk]

Treachery in the air
Catches me unaware
Takes me by surprise
And betrays me with your eyes

Yes I trust you and call out your name
I'm a fool, and I fell for your game
So just plunge in the dagger and then
Oh my darling ruin me again

Oh how I trusted you
And now I'm seeing through
The smoke and mirrors that is you
I let it happen, yeah, it's true

Yes I trust you and call out your name
I'm a fool, and I fell for your game
So just plunge in the dagger and then
Oh my darling ruin me again

Oh my darling
Oh my darling
Ruin me
Oh my darling
Oh my darling
Ruin me
Don't you worry
When I suffer just
Ruin me
Oh my darling
Oh my darling
Ruin me

Yes I trust you and call out your name
I'm a fool, and I fell for your game
So just plunge in the dagger and then
Oh my darling ruin me again

my darling ruin - roymond

don’t know half the things I’m looking for
don’t know what it is I’m trying
don’t know where to find what always seems to hide from me
didn’t know she knew me years before
didn’t see her smile with longing
didn’t hear the crowd - breathing quite so loud - beside me
what was that you said?
who was in my bed this morning?

now I see the shadows on the door
now I sense the lock is turning
now I bet these ropes can’t hold me from the world before me
that was days ago, so I’ve been told
that was nothing ‘cept a warning
that can’t really be - who’s in control - her or me
what was that you said?
who was in my bed this morning?

I looked inside the window - my darling ruin
I looked inside my head - my darling ruin
I looked outside and wondered
was there no one in my bed?
there was no one in my bed!

don’t know half the things I’m looking for
don’t know what it is I’m trying
don’t know where to find what always seems to hide from me

[Hoblit]

Just leave me be
please don't fuck with me
I've had enough can't you see?

I don't wanna go
to the dog and pony show
I just want to lay low

I don't know whats going to happen to me
my darlin ruin
If this world keeps on fucking with me
my darlin ruin, my darlin ruin

I could just abort
this fucking tech support
but I'd just be broke and poor

thats probably what I need
to hurt and always bleed
so I'll either sink or I'll succeed

I don't know whats going to happen to me
my darlin ruin
If this world keeps on fucking with me
my darlin ruin, my darlin ruin

[obscurity]

You, you're an infection
tearing at me from within
And I, oh I'm filled with disease
from my bones right through to my skin
and I, I should know better
I should be immune by now
but you, you bring the fever
it's sweat beading across my brow

this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse
this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse
this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse
this is not a relapse, this is not a relapse, this is not a--
relapse

You, you are perfection
spreading your love across the land
And I, I am your vassal
ready to serve at your command
'cos you, you made it all clearer
Shining your light for all to see
Now I, oh I'm a believer
my darling ruin has come for me.

[downwithgender]

darling ruin the skirt that you wore when we met
cuz you ruined yourself for a silly little bet
darling take back the words that you said in my ear
cuz you wasted my time for well over a year

darling ruin your name and just lose all your friends
cuz now its just you and theres no making amends
darling take my advice you could use it you know
just pack all your bags cuz its time for you to go

darling ruin your plans and direction in life
cuz you did a drunken dance on the edge of a knife
darling shut out the help that you get everyday
your mistakes are coming back and they're all here to stay

darling ruin your car as you veer off the road
and say farewell to your humble abode
darling hope in the future that you're doing well
but until that happens I'll see you in hell
