It was a late Thursday night, when I decided to write this song
Just me, bow wow, my dirty floor
Everyone's asleep, but the TV is still on
Debating the past three years, what I did right and wrong

So tell me is this world we live in all right
Why does every conversation end in a fight?
Why does every fight keep us apart day and night?
Cuz I'm trying to see the sun rise today

I've been burning bridges
Always burning bridges

Just think of life, what do you know
At twenty-two, I've learned all I need to know
I've made mistakes, I've burned a bridge
Apologize (what?), there's only one life to live

When everybody's gone, and the radio's still on
That's when I realize it's all I need to carry on

So tell me is this world we live in all right
Why does every conversation end in a fight?
Why does every fight keep us apart day and night?
Cuz I'm trying to see the sun rise today

I've been burning bridges
Always burning bridges
I've been burning bridges (I'm looking at a lifetime)
Always burning bridges (in these past three years)

So tell me is this world we live in all right
Why does every conversation end in a fight?
Try to explain this life in black and white
Cuz I'm gonna see the sun rise today

I've been burning bridges
Always burning bridges
I've been burning bridges (I'm looking at a lifetime)
Always burning bridges (in these past three years)
I've been burning bridges (I'm looking at a lifetime)
Always burning bridges (in these past three years)

WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS

Time goes by, I just try
To hold my head up high
People try to deny
Classify, or just hide

The feelings, what's inside
Broken hearts, and hard times
Don't let life break you down this time

I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask who are all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy

Don't give up just hold on
Is the pain just too strong
To hold on
Sometimes we're wrong when we think we're right

Tonight will be the night
You'll break free from this fight
Dont let life break you down this time

I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy

I die inside from all I feel
Does it have to be this way?
Memories of yesterday
When it all just slips away
I give up everything I had to keep you one more day
I know that it's not right
Why do we feel this way?
Why do I feel this way

I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy

YOUR PROMISE

i'm looking for answers to all the questions no one knows.
pleaded and begged asked you for nothing, but something showed.
you ??, the sweat on your forehead everyone's pointing your nervousness now.
it's obvious now that you're scared of yourself.
nothing to keep them from knowing this now,
there's nothing to keep them from knowing this now.
promises, shattered pieces, memories of nothing.
cowardly you'll face this all alone.
you're finding a truth nothing but lies still no one knows.
you see your self run but i see you crawling to face the truth.
you're hesitant now your heart must be parting, ripping,
and tearing your insides are numb. fleshless and weak time to start over.
nothing to keep them from emptiness now [x2].
promises, shattered pieces, memories of nothing.
cowardly you'll face this all alone [x2].
you know how this will end,
cause the pain inside in your head is cutting yourself thin.
nothing to do now when you're buried underground.
your promise haunts you now. promises, shattered pieces,
memories of nothing.
cowardly i'll face this all alone [x2].

2000 MILES

did i miss your call again? no, you never called it was a thought inside my head. did i take the fall again? i shoulda payed attention to all the words you said. cause i lost today. i'm not okay. heartbreak, a fake smile, and 2000 miles. i check my caller id. now there's every number but the one i want to see. i've been falling apart. since you been gone i don't know where i need to start. cause i lost today. i'm not okay. heartbreak, a fake smile, and 2000 miles. away she is. i can't live like this. heartbreak, a fake smile, and 2000 miles [x2]. if i told you that i love you would it matter at all? if i told you that i need you would you catch me if i fall? fall. cause i lost today. i'm not okay. heartbreak, a fake smile, and 2000 miles. away she is. i can't live like this. heartbreak, a fake smile, and 2000 miles [x2].

SHELL OF MYSELF

the nightmares not over. the sky is still covered.
the blood that we both spilled. that night we last shared.
lately i've been a shell of myself can't you see?
i can not hold back the feelings of fear within me.
this nightmare has no end. the walls still black and red.
this figures haunting me. this fears consuming me.
lately i've been a shell of myself can't you see?
i can not hold back the feelings of fear within me. [x2]

LOST BROKEN CONFUSED

did you get scared standing alone in the crowd?
did you give up when i was nowhere to be found?
did you get tired of being left all alone?
do you feel better now that you're on your own?
there's nothing without you. the days once had are through.
i'm lost, broken, confused but i won't give up on you ...
tonight all i see is your face on everyone else.
and now i know how scared you were all by yourself.
when the phone rings do you ever hope that it's me?
do you ever dream of a day when we will still be?
there's nothing without you. the days once had are through.
i'm lost, broken, confused but i won't give up on you ...
tonight i'll lie here all alone wondering what our future holds.
and my life should fall apart would you still care?
would you still care? there's nothing without you.
the days once had are through.
i'm lost, broken, confused (lost, broken, confused) but ...
i won't give up on you (won't give up on you) [x2]. tonight.

CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME

the end of the worlds in front of me. hard to believe all i see. it comes so close but pulls away to let me stay another day. it's one chance in your lifetime, but it won't be the last time. it seems there's always the next hill to climb. and you know there's a lifetime. the things that i see never end, tricking my mind to just pretend. i understand what's happening when others doubt you still believe. it's one chance in your lifetime, but it won't be the last time. i swear there's always a next hill to climb. and you know there's a lifetime. changing what i once thought. letting go of what i once fought. there's a life that you need to find. all that surfaced has changed my mind. the end of the world's in front of me, hard to believe all i see. it's one chance in your lifetime, but it won't be the last time. i swear there's always a next hill to climb and you know there's a lifetime.

RETURN TO SELF LOATHING

sick of the way i am feeling. waking up watching myself slipping. should i just take out my eyes? no longer want them for this life. acting strong only on the outside. hiding shame and pain on the inside. i've tried to block my mind of this and pretend is doesn't exist. loosing my mind once again. stranding my thoughts (no matter what i said). sleepless nights staring at the ceiling. sanity running on empty. try to block my mind of this and pretend it doesn't exist. loosing my mind once again. stranding my thoughts (no matter what i said). taken for granted again. stranding my thoughts no matter what i said. loosing my mind again. stranded my thoughts no matter what i said. loosing my mind once again. stranding my thoughts no matter what i said.

PARADISE(122ND AND HIGHLAND)

shot memory and a fucked up mind. can't remember what i left behind. a dead end street nights with no sleep. have i left my paradise for good? what to do at highland street, this is where we used to meet. i knew that we'd move on someday, but i didn't think that it would be this way. i can't remember what it is i wanted, but maybe if i loose it then i won't forget. i'm feeling sorry getting older nights we spent there are now over. what's the purpose if i move on all i had is now all gone. have i left my paradise for good? have i left my paradise for good? now i return but it's not the same, somehow what we had is changed. i stare at you with my blurry eyes but you're not a face i recognize. i can't remember what it is i wanted, but maybe if i loose it then i won't forget. i'm feeling sorry getting older nights we spent there are now over. what's the purpose if i move on all i had is now all gone. have i left my paradise for good? shot memory and a fucked up mind. can't remember what i left behind. a dead end
street nights with no sleep. have i left my paradise for good? i'm feeling sorry getting older nights we spent there are now over. what's the purpose if i move on all i had is now all gone. have i left my paradise for good? have i left my paradise for good? left my paradise for good.

25 TO LIFE

this is my story and here's how it goes. don't tell nobody cause nobody knows. the gov't says what i did was wrong, then how come it felt so right. time and time it happened again years went by and she lost all her friends. nowhere to turn and nowhere to run she thought her life was done. i looked in her eyes and all i could see was fuckin pain and misery she's so unhappy. 25, 25 to life. yea 25, 25 to life. I coulda copped but instead i got me a new wife. 25 to life is what i could get, but the look in her eyes i could never forget. i knocked down the door and pulled out my gun. i said grab your things and get your son. the pain in your life will soon be over. the pain in your life will soon be done. i seen a smile come to her face when she heard the sound of the gun. i looked into her eyes and all i could see was fuckin pain and misery she's so unhappy. 25, 25 to life. yea 25, 25 to life. 25, 25 to life. i coulda copped but instead i got me a new wife so we packed up our things and headed out west. for this
crime i commited i'll never confess. for once in her life she's happy she even said yes when i said marry me. that was my story and that's how it goes. i commited murder and nobody knows. 25, 25 to life. yea 25, 25 to life. 25, 25 to life. i coulda copped but instead i got me a new wife.
