lyrics

Ruiner (Down Upon Your Knees)

I am the ruiner, I came to steal your life
I took all your kids and slept with your wife
I broke into your house and took all the cash in the drawer
Now I want something more
And no, no one can stop me

I packed a raincoat, her ribbons, bows, and a broken TV
She wears an Egyptian ring that sparkles when she speaks
One of our mouths moved, then I heard: It's not you, it's me
Now it's time for us to leave

Oh, come on
It's not that bad
I swear you'll get used to it
I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear

Oh, come on
A threat to your home?
I swear you'll forget about it
Little holes for a key
And all the mercury
Do you swear?
Then, swear it all

I am the ruiner, the one who stole your life
I took a radiant jewel, that mystical wife
I crawled inside your window and laid on the bedroom floor
Now I want something more
And no, no one can stop me
