Eric Torres and Lindsey Flory - Ruins

Why am I the only one left under the surface
Will anyone ever realize
I would call out if my head was above water
But what do you do otherwise
(When you're)

Stranded alone in the same place as always
Breaking a little with each ocean wave
It's okay to move on from yesterday
Every man for himself but I could use a little help

How do you build up from this situation
Got nothin' to save but a rotted foundation
This current could take me down any second
Not much left of me, this world left me in ruins

Where do I go where do I run
I'm forced to face the opposition when I'm grabbin’ this gun
Holdin' on for dear life tryna' stay afloat
I'm feelin' stranded in the ocean and I see no boat
I need to breathe, trapped in my mind I can't see
Nothin' good in this world but snakes around me
And they plottin' on my fall, wishin' that I would die
My mindset has changed, catch 'em all by surprise
Feel like judgment has come since my story has begun
And I know that there's hope they hear my plea but they run
It's 100 to the very end one deep
The inner struggle of a man that's on me

Stranded alone stuck in place underwater
Waiting 'til my body finally falters
It's okay to move on don't even bother
Every man for himself but I could use a little help

How do you build up from this situation
Got nothin' to save but a rotted foundation
This current could take me down any second
Not much left of me, this world left me in ruins

Drifted away and left me in ruins
They've all moved on but why can't I do it
Stripped to the bone am I even human
Drifted away and left me in ruins

How do you build up from this situation
Got nothin' to save but a rotted foundation
This current could take me down any second
Not much left of me, this world left me in ruins
