By Small Ruin songwriting is inspired by spontaneous travels and adventurous experiences; their new single Rolling Thunder addresses relationships

By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible. Busking since high school, he has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.

As a teen, Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach. 

More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures. He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which “lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.” 

From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.

By Small Ruin has just released Rolling Thunder, which was inspired by Mullis’ spontaneous travels and adventurous experiences.

This song is about a deep infatuation relationship I had where it was all encompassing – especially at the beginning. After a short time, I was convinced that I could not live without this girl. It’s scary when you get to that point – to realize how much power your partner has to make or break your world with their actions.”

LYRICS – BY SMALL RUIN – LIKE HEAVEN

I know I don’t compare
Not in a million years
You are a queen and I’m a pawn
But I want you for my own

It feels like heaven when you’re here
How ’bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you’re better than I am
You won’t let me fall down

Was living on the edge
Now I hang with you instead
You helped me find that higher law
You broke the cycle and I’m forever grateful because

It feels like heaven when you’re here
How ’bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you’re better than I am
You won’t let me fall down

The heart you bring to everything
Your light can thaw frozen ground
You made me feel like a king
I woke up wearing a crown

Think back to when we met
And something that you said
You said I could do great things
I started to agree
You got me to believe

It feels like heaven when you’re here
How ’bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you’re better than I am
You won’t let me fall down
You’re just like heaven

LYRICS SPECIAL – SOME PEOPLE – BY SMALL RUIN

Cast my lot		

The only one that can take a shot		

By myself a lot		

I'm all alone, but I'm all I got		

		

And there's a growing trend	

Some people want me to just give in	

But I got news my friend	

Some people will never box me in	

		

Take you down a notch		

Damned if you do, damned if you do not		

You know it's all a game to them		

I'm gonna win it, rob them blind		

		

And there's a growing trend	

Some people want me to just give in	

But I got news my friend	

Some people will never box me in	

		

The less you give it, the more it takes

And unless you live it, it will fade away

Write it off to 'my head's in the clouds', it can plague some people

Lighters up in a room with a crowd, let me find my people.

The more you give it, the less it takes

And until I live it, I won't go away

		

There's a growing trend	

Some people want me to just give in	

But I got news my friend	

Some people will never box me in	

Yeah	

Some people want me to just give in	

Oh, but I got news	

Some people will never box me in	

They'll never box me in

LYRICS SPECIAL – MY ANGEL – BY SMALL RUIN

Daddy was a good man
He kept it in the road
Something must have happened I don't know
Today was just the first day
His letter still unread
As I lay down to bed I can hear him


Sleep, my angel
Not a peep, my angel


Momma's being quiet
She won't visit your stone
Can't accept you're never coming home
Sis, she ain't much better
That's why I'm here alone
As I lay down this rose, hear me saying


Sleep, my angel
Not a peep, my angel


Maybe you felt you were on your own
Overwhelmed, it's easy to lose hope
If I had only known, you were at the end of your rope


November makes three years now
I've got a son of my own
I tell him of the one he'll never know
I hope you're somehow watching
When I lay him down to rest
I sing to him that sweet song I know best
It goes like this


Sleep, my angel
Not a peep, my angel
Sleep, my angel
Not a peep, my angel

LYRICS SPECIAL – TAKE ME WITH YOU – BY SMALL RUIN

I got your DM tonight

Gotta say it took me by surprise

Cause my lips haven’t said your name in years

That old pic took me back as well

Thoughts of loving you and raising hell

Don’t know why you want to stroll down memory lane But hey

Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you

Cause right now you’re messing with my head Take me with you

Now you gotta take me with you

Don’t leave me dreaming by myself Up late here we go again

I see you typing and I start to grin

I’ve been wondering what was on your mind all day

These little sessions are a crazy drug

You got me glowing like a lightning bug

The trip put me on is such a world away

I have to say Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you

Right now you’re messing with my head

Take me with you Now you gotta take me with you

Don’t leave me dreaming by myself

You keep on hinting Might be pretending

I’ll play along even if it’s just fun

Don’t keep me waiting

Stop hesitating I hope this convo’s not a hit-and-run

We lost touch just out of school

And I forgot about the golden rule

Wanted you to call, but never called myself

So point a finger and I’ll take the blame

Glad to hear you’re done with what’s his name

Don’t know how I ever let you slip away But not today (pause)

Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you

Right now you’re messing with my head T

ake me with you

Now you gotta take me with you

Don’t leave me dreaming by myself

You keep on hinting Might be pretending I’ll play along even if it’s just fun

Don’t keep me waiting

Stop hesitating

I hope this convo’s not a hit-and-run
