Ruby---This Is

Written by Mark Walk and Lesley Rankine



The world begs to meet you

The world knows it needs you

I should have seen this coming

This piece of me that's humming

Colors of my house are red and wound and sweat and hollow



This is

Such an opportunity for me



And the world wants to feed you

It's on your side

I'd jump just to please you

And that is why

I should have seen this coming

This piece of me that's humming

Colors of my house are grip and grin and sweat and wallow



This is

Such an opportunity for me



And a man wants to meet you

He's on your side

He knows how to feed you

And so he tries

A cold slap to the head

From the one who wants to steal my bread

And the box inside me hums

For the one who wants to feed my love



And the box is humming soft and low

So definite the echo



Now it feels so low

Now it feels so low

Now you feel so low

Now you feel so low



This is

Such an opportunity for me
