Facing The Ruins - Persephone

I can’t remember how I became

The one I am or who to blame

Can’t recall the visions of my past

It all stays the same, I have no rest

Living a life that’s so intense

Does not give my memories a chance

Only when we’re together it feels so safe

Peaceful and silent, quiet as a grave

Only on these tombstones of my past

Is where my inner voices find their rest

Can’t silence them on moments that I want

For final rest I think we have to bond

My thoughts are ascending from the land

They find their rest, no reason to descend

Looking down on ruins I once left behind

Still left untouched for me yet to find

Going on, approaching open sea

Shimmering of sundown is coming towards me

When my body hits the ground

Feel the pain, I’ve returned and look around

The silence I find myself now in

Leads me to the ruins, my own place of sin

Only on these ruins of my past

Is where the voices found their rest

I can remember how I became

The one I am, but it stays the same

I can recall the visions of my past —

In that place… we all find our rest
