Bigwig Cross And Burn
Rain falls down in concentration
I finally come to the realization
That this place I'd once forsaken
Will consume my generation
Countless, endless summers
Opposing everything we've worked for
It was foolishness that made us wish
We could trade it all away
But that was years ago he shrugs
Back when we smiled and tipped our mugs
A time when boys were men
Friends never stood alone
Do you remember when I said
I'd never walk this town again
But you didn't believe me and now
We cross our bridges only when we reach them
We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
We cross, we burn
We cross and we burn
Day after day this is the nothing we've learned
Progress for their promise
Hold my breath, now we're all hostage
Bite your tongue there son you're just no one
Too young to know the beat
And I'm not asking you for much more
Only something I could strive for
If I keep pride outside my head then
In my heart there will be peace
But that was years ago he screams
Back when we still believed our dreams
And now we're left to doubt
Outstanding self owed debts
Do you remember when we said
We'd never end up just like them
Lost and bereaved
We cross our bridges only when we reach them
We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
We cross, we burn
We cross and we burn
Day after day is the nothing we've learned?
Can't we see what we owe to ourselves?
