[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
Oh
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
We held our breath when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end, we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
Oh
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
[Post Chorus 1: Chester Bennington]
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
[Guitar Solo]
Oh
Oh
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
[Post-Chorus 2: Chester Bennington]
The blame is mine, alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve, oh, oh
What I don't deserve
[Outro: Chester Bennington]
I use the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
