Wrecking - Laura Veirs/Saltbreakers

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

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

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
