John D Howard - It Came from the Ruins (Demo) Lyrics

So you run to the roof top
And where do you go now?
"Come to me" says the sky
"Come to me" says the ground

It's not like you stole bread to feed
A starving family back home
You stole someone else's meaningless stuff
To get some useless shit of your own

Well it came from the ruins
And I don't know what it is
But I don't like the way that it looks at me
I think there are more things than us it can see

Well it came from the ruins
And I don't know where it went
But it followed me here with its back to the wall
It whispered in my ear and made me do it all

Oh whistle and I'll come to you
'Cause run and hide just won't do
Maybe there was one, maybe there were two?
I wouldn't wait around to find out if I were you

Run to your mother, run to your father
Crawl back under your rock
Plenty more slimy stones in this town
When you feel you need to clock off

Shout to the walls, shout to the sky
Cry out to the void shouting "how?"
All that matters right at this minute
Is your run of good luck ends now
