Song: "Building A Ruin"
Lyrics:

My life is a sentence that carries no pardon
I can't put you out of my misery now
So stunned by the beauty of this madhouse garden
I've taken my chances (then lost them somehow)

This body's a temple a shoddy construction,
I'm digging my grave while boring the well
I'm paving a path to my own self destruction,
I won't be content 'til I see me in Hell

No I won't be content 'til I see me in Hell

I've looked back on my time the names and the faces
A child long ago that I nearly forgot
And felt like someone who'd just stepped on the place
where the last stair should have been (then found it was not)

Life's just a process of delamination
Stripping your hopes - dissecting them gently
I've opened my heart and to my consternation
when I peered inside it was small, dark and empty

My friends turn to me - wonder what I am doing
drinking and smoking like somebody died
I said "Leave me alone I'm just building a ruin
The spirits are sunken so the wreckage must rise"

I'm building a ruin - I ruin a building
My bridges are burned out
My tunnels are filled in

It's all a game I believe
the longer you play it the harder it gets
The most I can hope to achieve now's my breakfast
a priest with a blindfold and last cigarette...

My friends turn to me - wonder what I am doing
drinking and smoking like somebody died
I said "Leave me alone I'm just building a ruin
The spirits are sunken so the wreckage must rise"

My friends turn to me - wonder what I am doing
drinking and smoking like somebody died
I said "Leave me alone I'm just building a ruin
The spirits are sunken so the wreckage must rise"

I won't be content 'til I see me in Hell.
