Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Visited by thought, another darkened day

How you are like the sun hiding somewhere beyond the rain

I'm needing for the light, stormy is the grey

Rivers overflowing, drowning all our yesterdays

[Chorus]

Visited by thoughts on another darkened week

How even every winner hits a losing streak

The mistakes we all make and perfectly repeat

Chains are made by DNA refusing, refusing to release

[Verse 2]

Combing through the wreckage, pouring through the sand

Surrounded by the remnants, what we could and couldn't have

Raking through the ashes falling through my hands

Charcoal on the faces in the burned up photographs

[Chorus]

Oh, visited by thoughts, and this I got to say

If you're feeling the leaving, I can't make you stay

I've only ever wanted for it not to be this way

But you're now like the water, and the water will find its way

[Refrain]

Combing through the wreckage

Holding out, holding on

Combing through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

[Chorus]

Oh, visited by thoughts and not just in the night

That I no longer give a fuck who is wrong and who's right

This game of winner takes all, and all means nothing left

Spoils go the victor, and the other left for dead

[Refrain]

Uh-huh, combing through the wreckage

Holding out, holding on

Combing through the wreckage

[Bridge]

Combing through the wreckage

Holding out, holding on

Holding out, holding, holding

Holding on

[Outro]

Combing through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Holding on

Falling through the wreckage

Holding on

Combing through the wreckage

Oh, holding on

Falling through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage
