I'm burning down my past life, I'm sifting through the ashes. 
I'm beaten, broken, lacking sleep, my 
fingers singed from matches.
I gave up all my past dreams, something you 
dont understand.
I changed my job, gave up my 
friends, I even quit my band. 

and I know...its hard to comprehend.
and I know...this is coming to an end.

But I'm holding on to things that I still need... 
and i know, my body reeks of gasoline.


I'll set fire to the bridge of our past life... 
I'll move on, and I won't even think twice.



At 4am I go to sleep, at 6 am I wake up. 
I see a stranger in the mirror, it doesnt seem to add up. 
My bed is cold and empty, it's too big for just one person. 
But I'd rather have this leg room, and for warmth I'll just keep burnin. 

and I know...its hard to comprehend.
and I know...this is coming to an end.

But I'm holding on to things that I still need... 
and i know, my body reeks of gasoline.
I'll set fire to the bridge of our past life...
I'll move on, and I won't even think twice.

[bridge] I still like the smell of Gasoline, it gives me hope and comfort.
It's better than the alternative, with all this pain to suffer.
I know my past is fucked up, and my future isnt bright. 
but with some hope and medicine I bet I'll be alright. 

and I know...its hard to comprehend.
and I know...this is coming to an end.

But I'm holding on to things that I still need...
and i know, my body reeks of gasoline.
I'll set fire to the bridge of our past life...
I'll move on, and I won't even think twice.
