Wrecking Ball

Here lie the monuments to past disasters
Landmarks unoriginal, she's seen'em all
See her try only once to mask the plaster
Nothing's gonna cover, gonna cover it all


Cause it's high
Higher than her reach
And it's far
Farther than she sees
She needs
A wrecking ball

Here lies indifference to plastic answers
Standing in the distance, a self-made wall
She will lie in deference cause that's her master
Nothing's gonna conquer, gonna conquer it all

Cause it's high
Higher than her reach
And it's wide
Wider than the seas
She needs
A wrecking ball

She tried a needle
The wall rose higher
She tried a bottle
The wall sank deeper
She still can't see
Beyond the wall
She needs
A wrecking ball

Here lies an open page, it has some answers
Sitting down and reading, tears freely fall
This is who she's looking for, her Lord and Master
Now He's gonna conquer, gonna cover it all

Cause He's strong
Stronger when she's weak
And He's light
In the times that she can't see
His words in red
They were for her
A wrecking ball
