Burning Bridges

I fought the earth for you

I will not be a fool

The heat is gone but still the anger is rising

I'll build a wall of stone

And just leave you alone

You took my sacrifice and left me despising

Rot spreads, the stench grows strong

Time for a purge you don't belong

Cut the cord and sever the tie

Watch your power wither and die

This road will only take you half way

Now you're caught in the middle

There's no one left to carry you through

Burning your bridges, where'd it get you

You're no longer coasting

Choosing whether you should sink or swim

You're just deadweight

Am I the villain now?

To walk alone somehow

A hollow victory, my heart is breaking

Foundations built from pain

Haunted by the ghosts of shame

Tremors beneath my feet, the earth is shaking

The final chapter written inside this sacred hall

But it's ok because, this world won't have you

A chilling whisper to terrify

Your former friends all turn a blind eye

Shadows darken, your fate draws nigh

Fear consumes, all your dreams die

This road will only take you half way

Now you're caught in the middle

There's no one left to carry you through

Burning your bridges, where'd it get you

You're no longer coasting

Choosing whether you should sink or swim

You're just deadweight

You're just deadweight

This world is not for you

You're nothing but deadweight

This world is not for you

There's no one left

Deadweight

You're just deadweight

This road will only take you half way

Now you're caught in the middle

There's no one left to carry you through

Burning your bridges, where'd it get you

You're no longer coasting

Choosing whether you should sink or swim

You're just deadweight
