Laura Veirs Wrecking Lyrics

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 the where the worms

Reign silent and green, silent



We can do some wrecking here

'Til 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

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 the poker face

And no trail to trace, no trail to trace



We can do some wrecking here

'Til 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
