Bridges and Anchors

Ten years in a comatose

I always knew I would get out of here someday

Somebody's gonna come around

And burn this caravan down to the ground

Locked in among these animals

I can't sleep when they look at me this way

I'm gonna get my fingers burned to the bone

Leaving ashes you can dust for prints

Damn the bridges I forgot to burn

And every stone that's been left unturned for years

Long gone now

Fuck the anchors that's been left at sea

It goes to show it wasn't meant to be for me

Not for me

Shot down and put to sleep again

This is the last resort for me and the boys

We're never ever giving in, oh no!

We're standing put, and we'll get by on

Time, coffee, pills and cigarettes

I had a plan, the blueprints, and a gun

But here's the brutal truth:

There's no escape from this mothership

Damn the bridges I forgot to burn

And every stone that's been left unturned for years

Long gone now

Fuck the anchors that's been left at sea

It goes to show it wasn't meant to be for me

Not for me

So here's what you get for staying inside

Too long on your own

Shoveling shit, your 're never getting out

I know you've been told that the doors are unlocked

So what? This is home!

It's all that we've got, we're never going out

For those who tried, for those who never made it

For those who ran but never came far enough

For those who bled and poured out their heartache

Your sacrifice will be recognized one day

For those who did more than what's required

For those who sang, for those who inspired

For those who laughed while the rest of us were crying

Here's a shout, you made us feel alive

Yes, you did

Damn the bridges I forgot to burn

And every stone that's been left unturned for years

Long gone now

Fuck the anchors that's been left at sea

It goes to show it wasn't meant to be for me

Not for me

Not for me

Not for me
