Lyrics:

The smoke still rises from the ground
Each bridge I burned without a sound
I could not see who held me near
Through walls of rage, through walls of fear

I cursed the hands that tried to stay
And welcomed ghosts that led astray
I could not judge through fractured sight
Who wished me well, who bared the knife

Burned bridges, flames that climb
I razed the truth, I blurred the line
I lost the ones who called me home
And chose the fire, and walked alone

The ashes cling, the smoke won’t fade
I wear the scars of choices made
Not every hand was meant to harm
But blinded, I set fire to calm

Now silence builds where voices stood
A barren shore of ash and wood
I mourn the love I cast aside
The trust I failed, the ones who tried

Burned bridges, flames that climb
I razed the truth, I blurred the line
I lost the ones who called me home
And chose the fire, and walked alone

If I could build from ash and stone
Could I repair the paths I’ve known?
Or is the cost too high to bear
A ghost condemned to breathe this air?

Burned bridges, flames that climb
The fault is theirs, the fault is mine
I held the torch, I made the scar
And now I watch from where we are


Burned Bridges

Atlas I.
