Bridge

They move so slow
With teeth bared and fangs to show
In the hospital all alone
I'm all alone
Back then I called them friends
Now just acquaintances
We don't speak for months on end
I can't remember when

I burned the bridge
I'm no longer surrounded

Maybe I was the one
That smelt danger and was the first to run
I'm not there for anyone
Not there for anyone
I remember my last cigarette
Staring at my hands, over all of it
New Year's Eve in Kentucky sitting on some stairs
I'm completely aware

That I burned the bridge
I'm no longer surrounded

When I speak to you
It's just clicks and hisses
Awkward movements
And these nervous misses
But you're the only one that ever visits
This little nurse of mine

From inaudible tones
To these painful moans
Yes now I know
Now I know

I won't burn this bride
No, not again
