Devastation And Reform Lyrics - Five Score & Seven Years Ago - Relient K

Fear can drive stick 

And it's taking me down this road 

A road down which 

I swore I'd never go 

And here I sit 

Thinking of God knows what 

Afraid to admit 

I might self-destruct 

So lock the windows 

And bolt the door 

Cuz I've got enough problems 

Without creating more 

I feel like I was born 

To devastation and reform 

Destroying everything I loved 

And the worst part is 

I pull my heart out, reconstruct 

And in the end it's nothing but 

The shell of what I had when I first started 

Usually I'll cause my own first hit 

It seems to me to be slightly masochistic 

But there'd be no story 

Without all this descension 

So I inflict the conflict 

With the utmost of contemption 

So lock the windows 

And bolt the door 

Cuz I've got enough problems 

Without creating more 

I feel like I was born 

To devastation and reform 

Destroying everything I loved 

And the worst part is 

I pull my heart out, reconstruct 

And in the end it's nothing but 

The shell of what I had when I first started 

Thank you God 

For giving me the insight 

So I might make 

These wrongs right 

If and when 

There ever is a next time 

Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise 

Pull my heart out, reconstruct 

And in the end it's nothing but 

The shell of what I had when I first started 

The shell of what I had when I first started 

I feel like I was born 

To devastation and reform 

Destroying everything I loved 

And the worst part is 

I pull my heart out, reconstruct 

And in the end it's nothing but 

The shell of what I had when I first started 

(When I first started) 

(The shell of what I had when I first started)
