Lyrics for Ruiner

You had all of them on your side Didn't you, didn't you? You believed in all your lies Didn't you, didn't you? The Ruiner's got a lot to prove He's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe The Ruiner is your only friend And he's the living end to the cattle he deceives Raping of the innocent You know the Ruiner ruins everything he sees Now the only pure thing left In my fucking world is wearing your disease How'd you get so big? How'd you get so strong? How'd it get so hard? How'd it get so long? You had to give them all a sign Didn't you, didn't you? You had to covet what was mine Didn't you, didn't you? The ruiner's a collector He's an infecter, serving his shit to his flies Maybe there will come a day When those that you keep blind will suddenly realize Maybe it's a part of me You took it to a place I hoped it would never go And maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know How'd you get so big? How'd you get so strong? How'd you get so hard? How'd it get so long? And what you gave to me? My perfect ring of scars You know I can see What you really are You didn't hurt me Nothing can hurt me You didn't hurt me Nothing can stop me now You didn't hurt me Nothing can hurt me You didn't hurt me Nothing can stop me now You didn't hurt me Nothing can hurt me You didn't hurt me Nothing can stop me now You didn't hurt me Nothing can hurt me You didn't hurt me Nothing can stop me now You didn't hurt me Nothing can hurt me You didn't hurt me Nothing can stop me now You didn't hurt me Nothing can hurt me You didn't hurt me Nothing can, stop
