Burning Bridges (Black Number One)

Number one of the seven part "Black" series. It basically chronicles my reactions to my interactions with friends, family, etc. It's the initial step before, "ALEW, quit being a b***h."

I comfort myself in
Cloaks of flames
Standing on coals
Replaces my blade
Back to black again
Across the levy stood a friend
And I can't
No, I can't
Do the same

Strike the match
I'm burning bridges again
Leave the fuel and let me
Let me, let me
Wave goodbye
Fan the flames
I'm burning bridges again
I'm burning bridges again

Let go, I live
In a world of black butterflies
Why aren't I dead yet
Why did you try
To fight a wall that can't be moved
Back to black again
Back to black again
Back to black again
Back to black

I was only joking myself
To think you'd stay away
I'd stay out of Hell
I'm burning bridges again
Rolling in the deep like Adele
Six feet under
And still breathing
I'm burning brdges again

Should I
Shouldn't I
Why wouldn't I
If I
Could I
Why shouldn't I

Not ready to be alive quite yet
So I'm burning bridges again
Wear a crown that is just a lie, I bet
I'm burning bridges again

Back to black again
Black seems to be the perfect friend
Back to black again
Burning bridges again
