Sole And The Skyrider Band - Lyrics to The Bridges, Let Us Down lyrics

I like people with flowers, because they're trying, because they haven't given up... Wandering the streets of Barcelona, I lost my voice Loneliness and debt piling up You made your castle, no await your sentence Expect no mercy, but fight to live Before the leaches in your ear turn your heart to a lump of clay Powerwalking against the current Will you be swept away or stand proud till your knees break? And those who loved you, outlined you in chalk As if a dead man rapping out of a photograph can't come back to life and choke you blind for leaving him dead Treachery is a tough pill to swallow, but weakness is universal As living in tomorrow is a waste, so say la vee But don't say that you love me If you knew I was choking up blood and everyone got their piece Till I was a shell of a shell Scratching tears and skull, then consider the fall It's funny, you put the gun in my hand but were nowhere when the bullets fall Everyone knows every belief system ends in cannibalism Dr. Moreau, I feel your pain, but don't know Which way is up, which plot is dead, which knife is deserved And what's the proper sound a shark is supposed to make before it smells blood Onward ho, don't die bitter, be a better man, plan for success or expect failure Don't cry when you smell smoke, it means something is being born You can't change your mind, the weather, or the world So seek love and squeeze it for all it's worth The world ain't flat, it's to fat to reach the remote It's too tired to explode But it won't miss us when we're gone, or the seasonal holocaust of Christmas trees Me clawing up Gaia's back, trying to make a garden out of this dying yard Riding on a beetle on a ribbon, cutting up the countryside We hungry to eat a mall JC Penny Outfitter, Army Recruiter and all And we didn't stop to we were held at ecoli point sh**ting out my guts but don't condemn me yet, it's only evil spirits And the wind strikes at 50 miles per hour, and the frost strikes 2 months early So much for squash If I was a pilgrim I'd be dead, but I'm a viking So I sharpen my axe on my teeth And bad news from the old front, they're whispering to strangers And the strangers tell me, the verdict is in You may never go home again The pilot went out while you were out trying to save the world But you couldn't save yourself so don't complain Only one way to stay inspired, sit back and watch everything you love wither and die And you burned your house down just because And you wonder why no one will return you calls We came to burn the bridges but they let us down We came to burn the bridges but they let us down
