Wounds Volume 2 Quotes

“I’m carrying scattered pieces of me across the land
Shifting from hand to hand trying not to hit the ground
There is no meat left on these bones
Yet I’m still dragging this heart on a string in search of a home”
― Renee Ruin, Wounds Volume 2

“Do tell me all about your pain
Your loss, your scars
Do you want to see hell?
Let me show you just where I’ve been”
― Renee Ruin, Wounds Volume 2

“Sometimes you peel back the skin
And there’s nothing but the sting
I’d pin that heart of yours to my chest
That is of course, if you had one at all
I cracked my rib cage right open to fit you in
You’re clawing up my legs
But baby, I’ll never let you in
You can’t trick me you snake
You can’t lure me with that serpent’s tongue
I’ll roast you with that apple in your mouth
I’ll wipe my lips with the blood of your false regret
Tell me another pretty lie
Your words are rotting, the putrid smell of distain lingers
I’ve destroyed everything you’ve ever touched
I’m burning myself clean, exorcising every memory
Bodies once entwined.
Tell me one last pretty tale
Lie steady, I swear it wont hurt a bit
Truth like poison, love like venom”
― Renee Ruin, Wounds Volume 2

“I have a penchant for broken people
I want to see the beautiful entrails of misery inside them
I want to suckle at the teat of your tears
I need to understand you so maybe I can understand me
Dipping my toes into the deep
Maybe one day you can see how it feels
You have the prettiest eyes, even carrying all the weight
of the pain inside
My favourite flawed valentine, never mine.
Imperfectly, you’re perfect.
You’re the shining star in a darkened sky
But they love you more when you’re falling
You’re burning through, you’re coming clean
“I liked you better when you were sad”
― Renee Ruin, Wounds Volume 2

“They say you always hurt the ones you love
Well I’m hurting and I’m all out of love”
― Renee Ruin, Wounds Volume 2

“Blood drips from my fingertip
Like the blood that fell from your lips
Best intentions better left dead
I’m laying low and your holding ground
I’ve walked this road a thousand times
I get so close I think I feel, and then so swiftly I forget it all
I’m scratching my fingers through the dirt
I’m digging up secrets you wish you’d never heard
Saying out loud what you’ve never said
Telling the truths you’ve locked away inside your head
I’m licking my lips and wishing you hell
I’m holding your hands and whispering farewell”
― Renee Ruin, Wounds Volume 2
