Burning These Bridges
Burning Bridges: A Raw Journey Through Broken Souls
Lyrics
Well I'm broken and I'm beat
Feeling emotionally and physically damaged
And I'm way too tired to cheat
Too exhausted to deceive or act dishonestly
And it's getting harder and harder
Struggling increasingly with a challenging situation
To pick myself up off the floor
Finding it difficult to recover from difficulties
I overeat
Compulsively consuming more than necessary
I can't sleep
Difficulty falling asleep, likely due to distress
And I hate most people I meet
Experiencing dislike or aversion toward most people encountered
And I've never been the same
Changed significantly after returning from a war experience
Since they shipped me back from war
Emotionally distancing oneself from connections and relationships
I'm burning all these bridges
Intentionally destroying connections or pathways
I'm cutting all these ties
Ending associations or bonds purposefully
And I'm getting sick and tired
Experiencing fatigue due to recurring dishonesty
Of all these constant lies
Feeling tired of continual falsehoods
Empty bottles, broken hearts
Symbolic references to alcohol and emotional distress
We were better off apart
Belief that separation was beneficial for both parties
And I've switched from rum to whiskey
Switching from one form of coping mechanism to another
My anxiety is off the charts
Experiencing heightened stress and unease
Doing the right thing feels so wrong
Morally correct actions feeling uncomfortable
Don't want you here, don't want you go
Conflicted desires regarding someone's presence
I just want to hold on to you tight
Yearning for a strong, secure connection
Like cold steel against my skin
Desiring a tight, secure emotional bond
I'm burning all these bridges
Deliberately severing connections or relationships
I'm cutting all these ties
Actively ending various associations
And I'm getting sick and tired
Experiencing exhaustion from continual deception
Of all these constant lies
Tiredness due to persistent untruths
You've got a body built for sin
Attraction to someone seen as alluring but potentially troublesome
I've got a brain you can't get in
Having thoughts and perceptions beyond another's understanding
Things between us won't get better
Belief that the relationship won't improve regardless of effort
No matter how hard we try
Perceiving futility in attempts to reconcile
I did my time, my dirty deeds
Having completed morally questionable actions for little gain
And I did them for dirt cheap
Performed questionable actions for minimal reward
And I'm only going back
Revisiting past trauma and distress in thoughts and dreams
In my nightmares and my dreams
Continuously haunted by past experiences
I'm burning all these bridges
Intentionally destroying various connections or paths
I'm cutting all these ties
Ending multiple associations or bonds purposefully
And I'm getting sick and tired
Experiencing fatigue from continuous falsehoods
Of all these constant lies
Tiredness due to constant untruths
