Broken Bricks

[Verse 1]

Well, have you been to the broken bricks, girl?

Snack down through the cyclone fence

Past the caution tape and the security gate

Backwards to the break room bench

Well, there's a little corner where you first got kissed

And felt your boyfriend's fist and made the company list

And there's a little spot where your dad ate lunch

And your brother landed his first punch, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Well, have you been to the broken bricks, girl?

Seen the barrels that they left behind?

Seen the machine that cut aluminum clean

And got tape from the caution sign?

A broken-tooth window pane

Just a rusty-colored rain that drives a man insane

You try to jump over water but you land in oil

Climb the ladder up a broken crane, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]

Don't go to the broken bricks, girl

It's not the place that you want to be

Think about the spot your father spent his life

Demolition calls it "Building C"

Demolition calls it "Building C" now

Demolition calls it "Building C" now, yeah
