lyrics

Something tells me
Something deep in my bones
Knows this isn't the last
You're reliving a past life
Live a story, carry the weight
Saying sorry isn't the same
When you change
And you know that it's not right

When you take
When you burn your bridges down
The world will chew and spit you out

Clear the fog in your head
Reconnect with the way you were
Wipe the dust off the lens and see your horizons
Send a message instead
Of being the one to compromise
Or lead a life for someone else

Don't look back on the day, let it pass you by
Don't be stuck in your ways, all things fade in time

When you take
When you burn your bridges down
The world will chew and spit you out

Clear the fog in your head
Reconnect with the way you were
Wipe the dust off the lens and see your horizons
Send a message instead
Of being the one to compromise
Or lead a life for someone else

Clear the fog in your head
Clear the fog in your head
Clear the fog in your head

If this is the end, if this is the end
Just once again
Try to free your mind
And give yourself the time
To leave something behind
