Wrecking Lyrics
Looting the destroyed vessels of the sea
I wondered if the waves had taken all of me
All of me back
Down to the black
Down to where the worms reign silent and green
Silent
We can do some wrecking here
'Till a little color comes into your face
We can do some wrecking here
And find something to love in this broken place
This broken place
And the king is a hand
And slaps you like a wave
And shackles you down
Bound like an anchored chain in the sand
Sends your ships to the rocks
Sends the keys to the lock of the chain on your heart
To the mouth of a serpent
And his scaly glass shards
He's holding all the cards
And waiting in the waves
With a poker face and no trail to trace
No trail to trace
We can do some wrecking here
'Till a little color comes into your face
We can do some wrecking here
And find something to love in this broken place
This broken place
I wondered if the waves had taken all of me
All of me back
Down to the black
Down to where the worms reign silent and green
Silent
'Till a little color comes into your face
We can do some wrecking here
And find something to love in this broken place
This broken place
And slaps you like a wave
And shackles you down
Bound like an anchored chain in the sand
Sends your ships to the rocks
Sends the keys to the lock of the chain on your heart
To the mouth of a serpent
And his scaly glass shards
And waiting in the waves
With a poker face and no trail to trace
No trail to trace
'Till a little color comes into your face
We can do some wrecking here
And find something to love in this broken place
This broken place

i love this song.
A peice of absolute poetry :) So much art involved in these lyrics. I love the picture it creates. One of my most loved songs of all time. Wrecking.
This song evokes such imagery, like lucy92 said. It paints such a vivid picture, without giving you too much information.. Leaving it open to interpret. Just BRILLIANT song writing, all around. The second verse where she sings about the king is my favorite verse, maybe of all time.
Beautiful song. She sings this so well, and the lyrics are amazing. I can't help but listen to it over and over :)
