[Intro — spoken low over bass pulse] [VERSE 1] Look at us stumbling through it Armed with half a map Doing the best we know how Then doing it all back Carrying what was handed down By people just as lost Passing on the fractures Never counting up the cost [INSTRUMENTAL - 8 bars] [HOOK] Beautiful wreckage Beautiful wreckage Every one of us Beautiful wreckage [INSTRUMENTAL - 16 bars] [VERSE 2] The bully had a bully The wound goes all the way back Through a thousand years of humans Losing track of what they lacked Nobody chose the darkness Nobody picked the pain We're all just finding shelter In the middle of the rain [INSTRUMENTAL - 8 bars] [HOOK] Beautiful wreckage Beautiful wreckage Every one of us Beautiful wreckage [INSTRUMENTAL - 16 bars] [BRIDGE] What if we're not broken What if this is just What love looks like When it forgets itself [OUTRO - instrumental fade]
