Wait Out The Wreck Lyrics

I don't do that shit to myself anymore
I keep it away from me
I don't want to live like I'm dead anymore, so
Keep that away from me
We broke all the bread
Argued through every side, now
What's there to do but leave?
You can tailor the truth, make it look how you like, but
That didn't work for me

You talk with your hands
And break bricks with your head
You're black and you're blue
And a matter of "when"

And I can't wait around for bad news anymore
I keep it away from me

You talk with your hands
And break bricks with your head
You're black and you're blue
And a matter of "when"
You pray with a wink
Fingers crossed in your bed
That you'll wait out the wreck

Well, I can't hang around to find out anymore
I'll keep it away from me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
