Burning Bridges

Used to walk over burning bridges, came as no surprise
Used to fall for the siren dances, so hypnotized
Came so slow to the surface, try to gain my feet
Tried so hard to change the tune, the hills get so steep

I’m walking on burning bridges
Walking on burning bridges

Used to feel so scared of the world, now I call it home
Used to feel so fell so unsure of my place, I’m in the battle zone
Leave no trace on a city street, moving through the crowd
Leave no name, no number, my silence sounds so loud

I’m walking on burning bridges
I’m walking on burning bridges

I waited for so many years for change to come my way
I waited for a stranger’s voice, I wait ‘till this very day
Get no answer from ancient verse, get no answer from ghosts
Get no answer from guns and curses, it’s no idle boast

I’m walking on burning bridges
I’m walking on burning bridges
Walking on burning bridges
I’m walking on burning bridges

Walking on burning bridges
Walking on burning bridges
