The Pilot Kids - Bridges lyrics

[Verse 1] I close my eyes Only to see that I'm frozen in time I hoped it would be that I'd open the skies But, lo and behold, these clothes are all dry This ego of mine Needs no rewind bu*ton— as much as I know that I'll find nothin' Constructive by goin' behind, I still have this notion to try But why? I stare at this box of home videos and nobody knows about The commotion that goes on inside of this mind of mine It's violent The tapes in this closet are taking me hostage The thought of it's making me nauseous Like, “Wait, if I watch it, will I see that I've washed away in the process of change and I've f**! And I know that you're only here to keep me safe A sneaky arrangement of DNA And to be quite frank, I appreciate it But it's been 22 years and I need my space So I'm tearin' you down. You held me back-- “It's not so bad”, don't tell me that! Compel me to act! I've seen my lane Now I need to take this leap of faith! I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue And whenever you ask me how everything's going I wanna say “Fine, and how are you?” And have it be true! [Pre-Chorus] Lookin' at this bridge outside my window I feel like I'm almost on the other side I don't wanna waste my time I'm gonna grab my bags and go. (oh-ooh-oh) Cuz nothing's gonna last forever— And I'ma watch it all burn down [Chorus] All burn down Down, d-d-d-down And I'ma watch it all burn down (I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue And whenever you ask me how everything's going I wanna say “Fine, and how are you?”) And I'ma watch it all burn down [Verse 2] If you would lay off my mind, I'd sleep One day off, I grind my teeth Cuz I feel like I'm way off where I'd like to be but In chaos, I find my peace; Oh You know me better than I know me? All you ever do is say I've got a finite reach And it's time like these that I realize I ain't even looking for the motherf**ing limelight These are my journal entries disguised by beats What a breath of fresh air I finally see that the point of it all is for anybody living with a mind like me to be set free Or at least see that you don't need that voice Despite what it seems like It seems like if hindsight sees in 20/20, then the present eye's 3D Cuz people like us, we think so much That we end up basically chillin'; Yeah, roll that up, man, smoke that blunt And pretend that it's making you brilliant We say we don't care about sh**, but yo If we did, it'd be way f**in' different Afraid to move forward, afraid to be vocal We can't even make a decision It's much easier to look back on life like “We coulda been whatever we wanted to if we just tried.” It's much harder to fail while you're chasin' a vision But I wanna be lost and I wanna be stranded without a clue And whenever you ask me how everything's going I wanna say “Fine, and how are you?” And have it be true [Bridge] "So it's possible to see the end, then begin Start looking into the future of what you would like to accomplish And where you would like to go, the person you would like to be And see if you can't get a better picture of the finished objective See yourself there See yourself in possession of." -Jim Rohn [Outro] Lookin' at this bridge outside my window I feel like I'm almost on the other side I don't wanna waste my time I'm gonna grab my bags and go. (oh-ooh-oh) Cuz nothing's gonna last forever— And I'ma watch it all burn down
