Original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics
You stripped me of the lies,
That got in the way,
The reason I'm terrified,
Is I'm waiting to say.
That one by one,
We both fell from grace.
The emptiness haunts me,
Alone in this place.

What should I do,
When you push me away?
What should I do,
When it calls?
What should I do,
When the pressure's upon me?
Should I simply turn
And walk away?

We burnt all our bridges,
That led to us here.
Excuses we made,
Am I forgiven my dear? 
For failin' you,
Right from the start?
There are so many reasons,
But I don't have the heart.
You saved me my love,
From destructions cost.
I was tossed by the wind,
To seduction I lost.
As one by one,
My emotions decay,
Now I'm less than I was,
And I'm afraid. 

What should I do,
When you push me away?
What should I do,
When it calls?
What should I do,
When the pressure's upon me?
Should I simply turn
And walk away?

Now I'm runnin' on empty, 
And the weight wares me down. 
It's heavy enough,
But I still wear the crown. 
On days when I'm  thankful,
And at night I regret,
All of the things,
I haven't said yet.  

So what should I do,
When you push me away?
And what should I do,
When it calls?
What should I do,
When the pressure's upon me?
Should I simply turn
And walk away?
What should I do,
When you give me no choice? 
What should I do,
When I stop hearin' your voice?
What should I do,
When I lie here to die?
Should I simply turn
And walk away?

BURNING BRIDGES

🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.

Snaggletooth (2025)
Addiction (2025)

Yellin’ at the Clouds (2024)
