I am the Wreckingball Songtext
von ilyAIMY

I am not mortar, I am mortal
A force of destruction
About as cordial as a wreckingball
A kiss like breaking brick
That sickening feeling in your stomach
Came seeking shelter and found
A splintered white picket

A product of my raising
Build it and they will come praying
For restoration
But I am no cathedral
Just broken and stained glass
They say have faith, and refuse to panic
I don′t want to be faithless!
I don't want to be


And you dug this foundation by hand
But it will be your grave
If you let it
You can still leave this place
Let this hole fill up with rain
Until there′s nothing nothing left of it all
No, I am not the home you hoped for
I am the wreckingball

You said the ground was solid here
I felt sand beneath me slipping
And even as you lost your footing
You still promised spires
And strong stone arches
Columns of marble
But I swear it's most beautiful
When it's on fire

And you dug this foundation by hand
But it will be your grave
If you let it
You can still leave this place
Let this hole fill up with rain
Until there′s nothing nothing left of it all
No, I am not the home you hoped for
I am the wreckingball


How lovely the façade
Such beautiful artistry
And isn′t a passionate lie
Kind of like honesty
And I want to believe
So tell me again
It's not settling
It′s not settling

You dug this foundation by hand
It will be your grave
If you let it
You can still leave this place
Let this hole fill up with rain
Until there's nothing nothing nothing left of it all
No, I am not the home you hoped for
I am the wreckingball
