The Wreckoning Live at Uptown by Nonpoint Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Broken glass all around you
Try to hide, but they find you every time
Even with everything you try to do
People can still look and see right through you
Lookin' like you came from a magazine
Regular jock-star, beauty queen
Covered in labels, barely able to speak for yourself
So you look at other people and help yourself
You have your passport so you can be identified
In case the most important thing is lost
And every chance you take just to be satisfied
Is just another link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
[Chorus 1]
This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
[Refrain 1]
The bullet inside of the smokin' gun
Knife in my back when I try to run
Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside
One to reveal when I try to hide
[Verse 2]
Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Popularity, the life of all the parties
Gotta be the first be the bad one
Get fucked up, and have too much fun
Daddy's not here to hold your hand
Time to buck up, be a man
Nothin' was stoppin' you before
Why stop now? 'Cause you're on the floor
I'm sure you'll get your close up
Your fifteen minutes of fame and praise
You're the talk of the town
And every chance you took just to be glorified
Is just another brick in the wall that you're bringin' down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down
Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down
Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down
Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down
[Chorus 2]
This is the wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
[Refrain 2]
The bullet inside of the smokin' gun
Knife in my back when I try to run
Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside
One to reveal when I try to hide
[Bridge]
And so, you try to end the destruction
Of the things that make you function
But you want no interruption
And because of your selfish assumptions
I'm acting out this way
Ooh, you cause the eruption happenin' inside of me
[Refrain 3]
Bullet inside of the smokin' gun
Knife in my back when I try to run
Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside
One to reveal when I try to hide
[Chorus 3]
This is the wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball
[Outro]
The bullet inside of the smokin' gun
Knife in my back when I try to run
Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside
One that you're choosin' to hide
Broken glass all around you
Try to hide, but they find you every time
Even with everything you try to do
People can still look and see right through you
Lookin' like you came from a magazine
Regular jock-star, beauty queen
Covered in labels, barely able to speak for yourself
So you look at other people and help yourself
You have your passport so you can be identified
In case the most important thing is lost
And every chance you take just to be satisfied
Is just another link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball
[Chorus 1]
This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The wreckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
[Refrain 1]
The bullet inside of the smokin' gun
Knife in my back when I try to run
Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside
One to reveal when I try to hide
