Messiaen - Ruins

This one’s for the monsters

This one’s for the peace

This is for the one who turned water into

wine in the middle of a wedding feast.

This one’s for the skeptic

This one’s for the line

This is for the ones who seek their place

In time, in time, in time in time in time

And I love you

This one’s for the cynic, this one’s for the rush

This is for the ones who talk and talk but never listen all that much

This one wears a top hat, this one wears it too

This is for the one who thinks I never notice but I do

The lights come on as I feel the air

Slide through the holes and walls and tears

Tied to the steel, the cushions stained

Scrape my skin allocate blame but

Remember, I’ll wait but alarms are ringing,

I’m a convict

Just one time, please know this,

a dead utopia won’t hold us.

They will see but they will bleed

Blood and belief are all that they need

Endless walls we cannot climb

Stopping time and mortal crimes but

You see me outnumbered

have you lost while I have slumbered.

I’ll wake up, this body

I won’t fail you come and try me.
