Burning Bridge

The light turns red You stop without thinking No words to be said All signals obeyed Someone gives you What you thought you were missing Until they give proof That you've been betrayed Your mind in repose Awakened by fire Your helpful hand Feels the bite from a viper We like to believe What doesn't kill makes us stronger That pain will retreat Like smoke as it wanders When flames get too hot Let'm burn Stand back from the heat Don't get hurt Faith open-eyed Hit or miss Take the risk There will always be those Who choose a burning bridge You ask yourself If your own hands are dirty Fueled on by hubris Selfishness or pride But you can't control Hidden agenda diverging Like a forked tongue expression And a look right in the eyes When flames get too hot Let'm burn Let them burn Don't let your feet Touch the scorching earth Faith open-eyed Hit or miss Take the risk Though they'll always be some Who want to burn that bridge When flames get too hot Let'm burn Stand back from the heat Keep your word Don't get hurt Faith open-eyed Hit or miss Take the risk There will always be those Who choose a burning bridge Just let it burn Let it burn Let it burn
