Burning My Bridges
Today is a new day
At least that's what people say
But in my world it is on repeat
Every movement of my feet
Same motion, round and round
This awkward feeling I can't keep down
Puzzling it may seem
All I do is dream
To change for the better
As reluctant as I am I can't seem to surrender
My lies keep flowing out of mouth
Relationships are even going south
I try and try to mend these patches
But in the end they're being cut with hatches
Away and away they break and set a flame
Friends and family turn from my blame
Upon the bridge I stand
Trapped on the burning bridges I extend my hand
But no friend nor family come to save me
As they watch the wood roast and I to be
Bridges I've burned from others
Down and down they go
My selfish ways have me shunned from my own brothers
I stand upon the burning bridge to let everyone know
I'm not their brother, friend nor son
I'd rather burn hotter than sun...
My ways shall never be changed
I am who I am and maybe, just maybe I'm deranged
At least that's what people say
But in my world it is on repeat
Every movement of my feet
Same motion, round and round
This awkward feeling I can't keep down
Puzzling it may seem
All I do is dream
To change for the better
As reluctant as I am I can't seem to surrender
My lies keep flowing out of mouth
Relationships are even going south
I try and try to mend these patches
But in the end they're being cut with hatches
Away and away they break and set a flame
Friends and family turn from my blame
Upon the bridge I stand
Trapped on the burning bridges I extend my hand
But no friend nor family come to save me
As they watch the wood roast and I to be
Bridges I've burned from others
Down and down they go
My selfish ways have me shunned from my own brothers
I stand upon the burning bridge to let everyone know
I'm not their brother, friend nor son
I'd rather burn hotter than sun...
My ways shall never be changed
I am who I am and maybe, just maybe I'm deranged
