   The Origins Of Ruin

 

 

  作词：Lou Reed

  

  Hand on heart, head in hands

  The light is fading now

  It cannot pierce the darkness

  

  Nothing left to build upon

  Except the mounting fear

  That none of this was worth it

  

  Hand on pen, pen to page

  Focus though I may

  My words have failed

  

   

  

  Emptiness consuming me

  The shadows of my broken hope

  Play in the dying night

  

  Tears in eyes, eyes wide open

  Staring at the glass

  The face I see knows everything

  Words I've written, letters never sent

  

  Only signposts marking out

  The origins of ruin
