lyrics

“Wreckage” by Odist Abettor
(Copyright 2011 Luke Schutz)

You love yourself when he says that he loves you
Though doubts arise sometimes, if he’s even thinking of you
He’ll play the hero and save you just enough to
Hypnotize with all the lies he’s learned to speak
And you realize but his eyes still make you weak

We say, “it’s okay, go along, play the game
It’s your right, your time,” though we know it’ll fade
And we say we’re your friends
Though we know how it’ll end
And we’ll be there, once again, to watch you break

Used to be you had standards to which you held
Now you get high off of how far down you fell
Used to have dreams but ripping seams wear out too well
And his stabs get sharper with every little flirt
But you give him what he wants, ‘cause you’re scared to say it hurts

We say, “it’s okay, go along, play the game
It’s your right, your time,” though we know it’ll fade
And we say we’re your friends
Though we know how it’ll end
And we’ll be there, once again, to watch you break

Like a ship lost at sea lookin’ for any harbor, any home
Making a lighthouse out of lightning, so you don’t feel alone
And we could see the waves were too strong
But never told you what was wrong
I’m sorry, darling, we knew it all along

You get excited when you say that you love her
And you play the part, though your heart’s not thinking of her
Are we slaves to the labels we pin on each other?
Don’t wanna watch you break...

Still we say, “it’s okay, go along, play the game
It’s your right, your time,” though we know it’ll fade
And we say we’re your friends
Though we know how it’ll end
Will we be there, once again, to watch you break?
Will we be there, once again, to watch you break?
We’ll be there, your best friends just watch you break.
