The Wreckage Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy

[Verse 2]
The rhythm, the rhythm of an engine
Always makes me empty
I see the headlights coming at me
I can't help but wonder

[Verse 3]
Flying, flying in slow motion
The wind through my hair and
Ripping through the scenery of the wreckage
It is my secret need

[Verse 1]
Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
