about

Setting the theme for the EP, Ruin is about self-sabotage. In this case, punishing yourself for the guilt you feel after hurting another.

"How selfish of me, I'm chipping away at you... I will ruin myself"

lyrics

I'm sorry I'm this way
And that that's all I seem to say
If I could change, you know I would
(You know I would)

I hear the way you grit your teeth
When I open my mouth to speak
If I could change you know I would
(I wish I could)

[ The truth is that I'm happier
The further we are apart
I can breathe
I can sing
But the hardest part
Is the way my heart sinks when you come home
So next time, give me respite, stay gone, stay gone ]

I push you away
As if to say
I'm better off without you

But you're better off without me
I was never meant to be
Here this long

How selfish of me
I'm chipping away, at you
Feeding off your selflessness

How can you ever whole again
My friend?

I'm trying my best
To hold us together
I'm so sorry for everything

I'm nothing if not sincere
Believe me
I don't want to leave you here

Tell me it's alright
I know it's a lie
I will punish myself for hurting you

It may not make the surface
But I hold this within
I ache everyday
I'm so sorry I'm this way

I'm sorry I'm this way
That's all I have to say
I won't live with the guilt
Wont stay here in this place

I'm sorry I'm this way
I'm putting you through hell
I can't live with the guilt
I will ruin myself
