Burning Bridges
Hardcore Nation

Verse 1:
Yo, I grew up in the shadows, dealing with the battles,
Family ties tight, but they cut like swords from rattles,
Words that they said, yeah, they burn like fire,
Thought love was real, but it all backfired.

Chorus:
Burning bridges, I’m lighting the way,
No more hate in my heart, it’s a brand new day,
Drowning in the pain that they left in my soul,
But I’m rising from the ashes, taking back control.

Verse 2:
Mother’s lies, father’s pride, left me in the wreckage,
Wounds I couldn’t hide, thoughts I couldn’t sketch,
Sisters turned foes, brothers lost their way,
In this family game, loyalty’s a price to pay.

Chorus:
Burning bridges, I’m lighting the way,
No more hate in my heart, it’s a brand new day,
Drowning in the pain that they left in my soul,
But I’m rising from the ashes, taking back control.

Bridge:
Yeah, I walked on glass, thought it was a shortcut,
But every step I took left my soul in a rut,
Now I’m shedding the weight of all that regret,
I’ll break these chains, now watch me reset.

Verse 3:
I’m moving forward, never looking back,
Cut the poisonous ties, man, I’m on the right track,
Family tree’s twisted, but I’ll carve my own way,
Got my kin by my side, we ain’t built to betray.

Chorus:
Burning bridges, I’m lighting the way,
No more hate in my heart, it’s a brand new day,
Drowning in the pain that they left in my soul,
But I’m rising from the ashes, taking back control.

Outro:
So here’s to the struggle, to the nights we survived,
Through the hate and the pain, we’re forever alive,
This is my anthem, I’m letting it go,
Burning bridges behind me, it’s time to grow.
