[Verse 1]
Cracked statues in the strip-mall dust
Bleached flags hanging from a rusted chain
Billboards peeling like dead skin flakes
On the bones of an empty lane

Bent halos in the discount bin
Lost gods tagged with a clearance sign
Glass towers leaning in the smog
Choking on what used to shine

[Chorus]
These are the ruins of man
Ash in the shape of a plan
Built it tall just to watch it drown
Under the weight of a neon crown

These are the ruins of man
Praying to fistfuls of sand
Laugh while the black rain comes down
Ashes of the neon crown (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Old playground half-buried in weeds
Kids’ names carved in a twisted swing
Time chews slow on the plastic bones
Every laugh now a distant ring

Oil flowers on a flooded street
Rainbow stains on a broken sky
We call it progress as it burns
Smile wide while we learn to lie

[Chorus]
These are the ruins of man
Ash in the shape of a plan
Built it tall just to watch it drown
Under the weight of a neon crown

These are the ruins of man
Praying to fistfuls of sand
Laugh while the black rain comes down
Ashes of the neon crown (oh)

[Bridge]
Is this all we get?
Smoke in the lungs of a dying sun
Is this all we are?
Shadows that brag till the lights come undone

[Chorus]
These are the ruins of man
Ash in the shape of a plan
Built it tall just to watch it drown
Under the weight of a neon crown

These are the ruins of man
Praying to fistfuls of sand
Sing while the dark comes around
Ashes of the neon crown
