Brute - Alter Der Ruine

With the work lights, I can’t see 'em

Down by the river I can hear them screaming

«Oh, god’s gold turned to ash, whoever saw that one comin?»

There’s been worse nights

At least there’s fireflies

And this love of the worst kind

Got it so bad I can’t get to sleep at night

So I fill up my pockets

Full up with matches

To burn off questions and push through the hours

Never never knew what to expect

If it rains, it’s swell

Apex brute you’ve fallen down

And hey, wear those crimes well

And hey, gnash your teeth right

You might not have shells to sell, but maybe some pearls to shine

To test the design for imperfections

Spat a few sparks at a new complexion

Made it too hot to see

(I) Want to join the two souls, drunk and fishing

Smashed on the rocks to keep from drifting

Because they have reasons I don’t want to understand

You were stronger than all oceans

Able to hold back the seasons

They never cried, never complained, just let you slip out of sight

You didn’t get it

You didn’t like it

Someone stole you in the middle of the night

You didn’t break them, didn’t clean them, just kept them quiet in the back of

your mind
