They say we'll shuttle to Mars
We'll pack money and fast cars
Breathe stale air from a can
From a porthole in space
This whole human race
Will watch the world burn through the stars
Ruins
We built ruins
And from the rubble we've got to climb
These ruins we built
The smog and silt
How can you say that we're wise?
Our bites were too big
With grave digging teeth
We'll bring them to Mars with our knives
We'll race to our new home
Turn from gardens of sea foam
As old tears rev engines in the night
Ruins
We built ruins
And from the rubble we've got to climb
These ruins we built
The smog and silt
How can you say that we're wise?
With a land full of splinters
And hands full of blisters
From my signs
They'll pay us in coin
And we'll sell and rejoice
And run like thieves in the sky
Running
We'll be running
Running from the mess that we made
These ruins we built
Can't see through the filth
That already covers our eyes
Ruins
We built ruins
Ruins
We built ruins
Ruins
We built ruins
Ruins
We built ruins
