Tokyo’s Ruin is a colossal blockbuster of a track for fans of Linkin Park,
Bring Me The Horizon, Highly Suspect, 30 Seconds To Mars and Incubus. The lyrics explore an inner conversation: one side
broken, calling out to the melody in the music to aid in suffering; the other brought out by the music - singing the lyrics ‘feel the soul
in you’, an instruction that however broken we feel, we are all still human and alive, we all have value.

Lyrics - Tokyo's Ruin
This neon ruse,
Lured me out,
Into this tomb,
And so are you,
Leaving,
Tokyo's Ruin?
Melody pick me up,
Melody pick me up,
Don't you leave me alone,
It's taking me and breaking me,
I need relief from melancholy,
Now I can't sleep,
My head is screaming,
Pick me up,
The rain won't give out,
I can't live like this,
Lost and anhedonic,
I can't be like them,
Feel the soul in you,
Feel the soul in you,
Feel the soul in you,
Feel the soul in you,
Oh,
Melody pick me up,
Melody pick me up,
Don't you leave me alone,
It's taking me and breaking me,
I need relief from melancholy,
Now I can't sleep,
My head is screaming,
Pick me up,
The rain won't give out,
Oh, oh,
The rain won't give out,
Oh, ooooh,
Melody pick me up,
Melody pick me up,
Don't you leave me alone,
I can't live like this,
Feel the soul in you,
Feel the soul in you.
