Modern Ruin

All the neighbourhoods you knew and loved All the streets that you played on All the streams and the fields and parks And all the lanes you roamed after dark All the houses you grew up in The floorboards you hid money in The beds where you fucked for love And all the beds where you fucked for fun The idea that nobody dies And when our hearts stop beating, we leave it behind It's just modern ruin, that's what they'll say Flesh and blood just rotted away Steel and concrete titans waiting to be enlightened All wanna go up in a ball of flame All wanna burn out, not fade away The cemeteries and their flesh bouquets The rivers and the mountain lakes The copper, the concrete, the iron, and gold And all the stories that we never told The idea that nobody dies And when our hearts stop beating, we leave it behind It's just modern ruin, that's what they'll say Flesh and blood just rotted away Steel and concrete titans waiting to be enlightened All wanna go up in a ball of flame All wanna burn out, not fade away All the nights we stayed up till dawn All the blankets laid out on the lawn And all the mornings, and the afternoons And all the evenings and the night times too And all the bricks and the mortar you called your home And all the glass and the metal and the wood and the rope And all the emptiness you filled with hope And all the blood and the muscle and the skin and the bone And all the veins and the cells and the molecules And all the atoms divided that made up you And all the vast potential you hold inside All the infinite darkness and all of the light
