[Verse 1]
I used to hear the silence
I used to hear the chime
Way down in the gold mine
I could see a light shine
Now I don't even notice
The water from the wine
With a frozen conscience
In a fallow mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm going away
Just a little each day and I
Yeah I burn with desire
I can't wait anymore
I'mma go ..out?.. on fire

[Chorus]
Down and down again
We're on the road to ruin
But I've still got some love to make
And I've still got a heart to break
Oh, I'll never understand
But I still wanna hold your hand
We're on the road to ruin
Oh will we ever get home again?
Ooh - oh, ohh, ohh we're on the road to ruin
Ooh - oh, ohh, ohh we're on the road to ruin
[Verse 2]
A complicated wildness
Way stip in the soul
Never brought you any kindness
Couldn't get you their home
Bed barren and stolen
Headlights in your eyes
Oh couldn't make you stay golden
Couldn't stall your demise

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah, I'm going away
Feels like a little more every day and I
And I don't wanna let go
So I'll hold on to war
And let blood on the floor, yeah

[Chorus]
Down and down again
We're on the road to ruin
But I've still got some love to make
And I've still got a heart to break
Oh, I'll never understand
But I still wanna hold your hand
We're on the road to ruin
Oh will we ever get home again?
Ooh - oh, ohh, ohh we're on the road to ruin
Ooh - oh, ohh, ohh we're on the road to ruin
[Bridge]
A-ah and when we're gone
Just tell them we were gold once
So gold

[Chorus]
Down and down again
We're on the road to ruin
But I've still got some love to make
And I've still got a heart to break
Oh, I'll never understand
But I'm still gonna hold your hand
We're on the road to ruin
Oh will we ever get home again?
Ooh - oh, ohh, ohh we're on the road to ruin
Ooh - oh, ohh, ohh we're on the road to ruin
