My Ruin

Sevendust · Sevendust [1997]

Inside my shadow,

I can hear you. Am I near you?

Inside my shadow,

I can smell you. can I tell you?

Inside my shadow,

I can love you. Think I need you.

Inside my shadow,

I can feel you. I've embraced you.

Am I Real?

Am I Real?

Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust. [repeat]

If there's tomorrow,

Would you give me Please forgive me?

If there's tomorrow,

You'd be buried and that just scares me.

Am I Real?

Am I Real?

Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust. [repeat]

Save my World.



Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust. [repeat]

Save my ruin.

My World [repeat]
