Praying to Ruin

Verse 1

Even madness can't escape gravity's pull,

I gave too much, but never felt full.

I might be crazy, I might be blind,

Still chasing something I can't define.

Heavy eyes, I'm fighting sleep,

While darker thoughts crawl underneath.

The world grows loud, my breathing slows,

And somewhere inside, nobody knows.

Pre-Chorus

I was one with the world,

Till the world came undone.

Now I'm walking an unwritten road,

Trying to remember where I'm from.

Chorus

Pull my heart—

Pull it till it breaks,

I gave you faith,

You gave me mistakes.

I called it love,

I called it devotion,

But I was praying to ruin

With my eyes wide open.

So let the lights go out,

Let the whole thing disappear—

If there's nothing left to hold,

I'll still be standing here.

Verse 2

Sheep's skin, truth deceiver,

My own wolf hiding underneath.

Devouring everything good in me,

Then blaming fate for what I couldn't see.

This cursed faith we swore upon,

Every promise turning into a scar.

I held the pieces like they meant something,

But broken vows don't make them whole.

Pre-Chorus

I worshipped too deeply,

Mistook pain for proof.

Called it devotion,

When I was losing myself to you.

Chorus

Pull my heart—

Pull it till it breaks,

I gave you faith,

You gave me mistakes.

I called it love,

I called it devotion,

But I was praying to ruin

With my eyes wide open.

So let the lights go out,

Let the whole thing disappear—

If there's nothing left to hold,

I'll still be standing here.

Bridge

Maybe I was the deceiver,

Maybe I was deceived.

Maybe the wolf I feared

Was the one I'd always been.

And if madness has a gravity,

Then let it pull me down—

I've spent my whole life searching

For somewhere I belong.

(Final Chorus — bigger)

Pull my heart—

Pull it till it breaks!

Let every twisted devotion

Fall away.

I gave you faith,

I gave you everything,

But an unwritten road

Still has somewhere to lead.

So let the lights go out—

Let the silence have its say.

I'll close my heavy eyes tonight,

But I won't fade away.

Outro

One with the world...

Then alone again.

An unwritten road...

With no promised end.

Heavy eyes.

Cursed faith.

Twisted devotion.

Lights out.
