Nonpoint - The Wreckoning (Live at Uptown) lyrics

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

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

This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all

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

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

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

This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all

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

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
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

This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball

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
