Wait Out The Wreck
Navigating Life's Wreck: Kevin Devine's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
I don't do that shit to myself anymore
I no longer engage in self-destructive behavior.
I keep it away from me
I distance myself from negative influences.
I don't want to live like I'm dead anymore, so
I don't want to live a life devoid of meaning or passion.
Keep that away from me
I keep away from things that lead to a lifeless existence.
We broke all the bread
We've exhausted all possibilities or resources.
Argued through every side, now
We've argued from every perspective.
What's there to do but leave?
Leaving seems like the only option now.
You can tailor the truth, make it look how you like, but
Truth can be manipulated, but it didn't benefit me.
That didn't work for me
Attempts to shape the truth to my liking were unsuccessful.
You talk with your hands
You express yourself physically.
And break bricks with your head
You confront challenges with determination.
You're black and you're blue
You're emotionally bruised.
And a matter of when
An inevitability is looming.
And I can't wait around for bad news anymore
I can't wait for bad news; I distance myself from negativity.
I keep it away from me
I keep away from negative influences.
You talk with your hands
You express yourself physically.
And break bricks with your head
You confront challenges with determination.
You're black and you're blue
You're emotionally bruised.
And a matter of "when"
An inevitability is looming.
You pray with a wink
You pray insincerely.
Fingers crossed in your bed
You hope for a positive outcome while uncertain.
That you'll wait out the wreck
You anticipate surviving a difficult situation.
Well, I can't hang around to find out anymore
I won't wait around to experience negativity.
I'll keep it away from me ?
I distance myself from potential harm.
