lyrics

You did anything you could just to feel. Cigarettes to your thighs, blade to your skin but still when the winter wind blows it passes through your bones like the smashed windows of your broken home. You tried to mend old friendships, breathe in finer air, find a love for life; but still you look in the mirror to the same empty stare, wondering where the spark in your eyes went until it reappears and the flames melt everything around you.

Sometimes the bridges burn when you’re standing on them.

I bet you wonder why you'll never recover. You said you should have known better, or thought worse. You're at the altar wearing a crown of flowers, and everyone can tell this isn't real. You're the flame on the match you used to burn your wedding dress when your "man to be" went for a walk to warm up his cold feet. You haven't seen him in three weeks, but the flower crown still lays next to the ring.
Everyone can tell this isn't real,
maybe you should wake up.
