I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end, we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve, oh-whoa
What I don't deserve
I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end, we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve, oh-whoa
What I don't deserve
I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

I use this song to delve into my past and let go of all my pains and regrets. When I sit here and take the time to go back there, it's such a storm in my life echoing out with recurring thoughts and dreams. I want to take one final pass back there... perhaps a few passes until it's final.
All the bridges I've burned. All the train wreck relationships I've had. All the people that have hurt me, and all those that I've hurt... and now as I shed the shadows of my former self, I am giving up everything I don't deserve. I am making apologies for everything so I can move on.
Life in the past is not what makes us. And the future is not made. All we have is this tiny, infinitesimal moment to make everything happen... reaching forth into our dreams like as star. But we must crumble away all the crust and layers of soot, so we may always burn bright and clean.
