Ivy Staircase In Ruin Lyrics

It goes on and on and on

Won't get home till after dawn

A love that crushes like a mace

Until the words won't come out

leaving home behind before

Broken glass and Ivy stands

And the words won't come out

So the stage will collapse

Will the ice endure the weight of our crimes

Will these swollen stairs bind my wrists?

I thought that if I could shake this

I'd grow up at least

Grow into something or someone that I can understand

I've only deteriorated myself and those close to me

A cause we never knew was lost

Well before the beginning

From the carousel

I've fallen on shaky knees

These images we weaved

Always sang defeat

I offered my hand

And my heart as a steed

I swear you held your own

Through clenched teeth

Go ahead blame yourself again

Seasons change and fall apart

We will look upon it all

And laugh and cry and scream again

Ruby and opal shed faint light

What you had left was enough

But you forget that

You forgot that, didn't you?
