Life In Ruin
from Exposition by Hotel Cinema
lyrics
I don't know where you disappear to in the night all alone
Have you lost all you know? Befriending sorrow, every night on your own
And you're forcing yourself down, diving face first toward the ground,
Leaving all your friends to wonder
I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue
Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view
Reflections echo through a canyon
Words wither, harbored in the void of your room every night
And you're beating yourself down, chasing every fear around,
Keeping all your secrets under
I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue
Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view
We watch your world crumble down
We watch your world crumble down
Hairline fractures through the main that we once knew
We watch your world crumble down
And you're losing what you've found, chasing every fear around, leaving all your friends so hopelessly to wonder
I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue
Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view
Your life is in ruin and mine is in plain view
Have you lost all you know? Befriending sorrow, every night on your own
And you're forcing yourself down, diving face first toward the ground,
Leaving all your friends to wonder
I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue
Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view
Reflections echo through a canyon
Words wither, harbored in the void of your room every night
And you're beating yourself down, chasing every fear around,
Keeping all your secrets under
I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue
Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view
We watch your world crumble down
We watch your world crumble down
Hairline fractures through the main that we once knew
We watch your world crumble down
And you're losing what you've found, chasing every fear around, leaving all your friends so hopelessly to wonder
I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue
Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view
Your life is in ruin and mine is in plain view

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since.
