"Ruins" lyrics - SLEATER-KINNEY

And just before midnight
You came into our room
A demon so frightening
Both ancient and new

[Refrain:]
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you

You're a creature of sorrow
You're the beast we made
You scratch at our sadness
'Til we're broken and frayed

[Refrain:]
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you

[Chorus:]
Eat the weak and devour the sane
From our bones, under monsters made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day

Do you feast on nostalgia?
Take pleasure from pain
Look out 'cause the children
Will learn your real name

[Refrain:]
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you

[Chorus:]
Eat the weak and devour the sane
From our bones, under monsters made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Eat the weak and devour the sane
From our bones, under monsters made
Nothing left but ruins at the end of our day

[Chorus:]
Eat the weak and devour the sane
From our bones, under monsters made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Eat the weak and devour the sane
From our bones, under monsters made
Nothing left but ruins at the end of our day
