Ruins of Today

It's the dead of night

You're on Mullholand Drive

Looking over a city that's lost its light

And you think how long

Have I been dead in my own life?

You glide down Ventura

And all of the people

Are looking down asleep at their phones

And you think, oh my God

Am I here all alone?

When all the lights in your life go out

I need you to know I'm here

When all the stars in your heart burn out

I need you to know you're safe

From the ruins of today

We'll pick up the pieces and run

You float down to Zuma

You know that there's beauty

But none of it reaches your heart

And you think, oh my God

Am I trapped in this dark?

You wakе up in a wild room

The medicine's singing

And strangеrs are glowing in white

You pray, Mother

Make me belong in this life

When all the lights in your life go out

I need you to know I'm here

When all the stars in your heart burn out

I need you to know you're safe

From the ruins of today

We'll pick up the pieces and run

In life and death, I'm always with you

I need you to know I'm here

When all the stars in your heart burn out

I need you to know you're safe

From the ruins of today

We'll pick up the pieces and run
