Bridges

Follow up the fireflies that lead me to my storm.

The darkness brings me here to die, to sit and watch them swarm.

I used to try to block it out, ignore the voice inside.

Now, nightmares in the daytime sun, I’ve nowhere left to hide.

We all have a cause to fight, a lesson to learn.

I found out the hard way now that some bridges don’t burn.

Cold shivers travel down my neck, an aching in my bones.

I feel my pale and hollow skin. I wait for death alone.

Been fighting since I was a child, I can’t pay for these sins.

So I’ve come to end my fight, let my darkness take me in.

We all have a cause to fight, a lesson to learn.

I found out the hard way now that some bridges don’t burn.

Oh please don’t weep for me, I can’t stay on this earth.

The evil deep inside of me must be buried in the dirt.

We all have a cause to fight, a lesson to learn.

I found out the hard way now that some bridges don’t burn.

Buy the novel that inspired the song.
