Backstory:

This is a song about addiction. How it is devastating not only to the person struggling with it but also how it effects the people around them.  The title is a metaphor for those not truly touched by it when they hear that someone loses their life from addiction. It is almost as when we drive past a bad accident and only for a moment a brief emotion is felt seeing the aftermath of people finishing up the clean up.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Wreckage From The Road
(David Nicastro)

In the dark and quite times that I spent with you
Said that I understood but never really knew
The pain hurt so deep you felt it nick the bone
And the only thing worse was feeling so alone
You know that we all thought you were moving way too fast
Was just a matter of time because it couldn't last

CHORUS
A Mona Lisa smile hid a heart that was made of gold
From the depths of the darkness the devil reached up for your soul
Just another lost life and a story that will never be told
As they clear the wreckage from the road

Now I'm left with a void when I speak your name
Even the city skyline doesn't seem the same
Was there something else that I could have done
When your demons from the shadows couldn't be outrun
They grabbed and gripped so tight it left marks on your skin
Got caught up in a battle you were never gonna win

CHORUS 
A Mona Lisa smile hid a heart that was made of gold
From the depths of the darkness the devil reached up for your soul
Just another lost life and a story that will never be told
As they clear the wreckage from the road
