The Wreckage (feat. Sean O'Brien)

Like a painted word on paper

Soaking through to the other side

I’ll be at the window

Just waiting to hide

Like the first page of a long book

That you kind of quickly scan

I’ll read right through the painful parts

Was that always part of your plan?

 *Nothing here is guaranteed Is that big news to you?

The people in the crash survived

But I just stared with you

At the wreckage – the wreckage

The wreckage (well I just stared) (X3)

Like the sweetest piece of candy

You feel a little sick

If you eat too many pieces

Now that’s the dirty trick

And the quarterback he can’t throw

His arm’s been overstretched

As he sits with his bag of ice

 *Nothing here is guaranteed Is that big news to you?

The people in the crash survived

But I just stared with you

At the wreckage – the wreckage

The wreckage (well I just stared) (X3)

=Well I wonder

What has caused this crash?

Did anybody here

Even think to ask?

Well the jaws of life were opened

Just to save the people in time

And in my new job as bystander I declare

I resign
