Burn That Bridge When We Get to It
Burn those bridges to the ground, ground, ground
Without a sound we just blew up
On to bigger destitute
This is our heart, this is their truth
Someone told you life is short
But yours is long
Longing for validation

Sure you never needed song but without harmony
You gave them underwhelming hope, change
Life's work ending in a flat note gesture
Passionate to some is not enough

Up the ladder to the lounge
In an old suit
You make them proud to crush you
Seems they like watching you burn just like the bridge
You once stood first

So burn those bridges to the ground
Without a care
You know you're nothing more than here, there, aimless
Addicted to the sound of insufficient
Only recognized before you're compromised

Take a liberation
Before you're held accountable
Disappear before it controls your heart and soul
You are bought and you are sold
To a world of golden grace
I'm still here to reap my due
They haven't changed
You're still alone
