Almost there...

I know where I'm going, but I'm not sure how to get there.

I think I will probably have to resort to arranging in layers like this, making sure everything's lined up and pitched to where it needs to be, then go back over individual tracks to make sure all the chop cuts are "invisible", then render each of those stems as separate tracks and send it to somebody who 1. knows what they're doing, and 2. isn't having to work through television speakers.

Also - for you guys who know the guitar parts in all of the original songs, I am OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS if there are any particular phrases or sections that you think would work in this, let me know the track and timestamp and I'll see if I can find it.

Lyrics

A fire needs a space to burn
A breath to build a glow
I've heard it said a thousand times
But now, I know.

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 remembered black skies and the lightning all around me!
I remembered each flash as time began to blur!
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
Your voice was all I heard - that I get what I deserve.

So give me reason, to prove me wrong,
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason, to fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide.

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide - the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard - that I get what I deserve

So give me reason, to prove me wrong,
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason, to fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide.

You told me yes - you held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
Struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to wear that crown
I built you up, and you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
To fan the flames as your blazes burn

And I told them - nah, you don't know me.
Lightning above, and a FIRE below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours
When the floodgates open, brace your shores
That pressure don't care if it breaks your door
Say its all you can take, better take some more!

But you can tell them all now
I don't back up - I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, I don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are 
I can't be stopped, all I know is GO HARD
But don't forget how I got this far
I held myself up and LOVED my scars.

For what I've done, I start again
Whatever pain may come, today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
Forgiving what I've done

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.
