brian6fo Really feel this song...
lyrics are simple but... convey a very powerful theme so many vets deal with that's overlooked... under represented and marginalized.

about

This track was written at a pivotal point in my life that involved looking into the mirror and seeing where I had been, where I was going, and owning up to my demons. It was a song that allowed me to move forward in life and burn all the bridges of the things that hold me back.

lyrics

Well I'm broken and I'm beat
And I'm way too tired to cheat
And it's getting harder and harder
To pick myself up off the floor

I overeat, I can't sleep
And I hate most people I meet
And I've never been the same
Since they shipped me back from war

I'm burning all these bridges
I'm cutting all these ties
I'm getting sick and tired
Of all these constant lies

Empty bottles, broken hearts
We were better off apart
And I've switched from Rum to Whiskey
My anxiety is off the charts

Doing the right thing feels so wrong
Don't want you here, don't want you gone
I just want to hold on to you tight
Like cold steel against my skin

I'm burning all these bridges
I'm cutting all these ties
I'm getting sick and tired
Of all these constant lies

You've got a body built for sin
I've got a brain you can't get in
Things between us won't get better
No matter how hard you try

I did my time, my dirty deeds
And I did them for dirt cheap
And I'm only going back
In my nightmares and my dreams

I'm burning all these bridges
I'm cutting all these ties
I'm getting sick and tired
Of all these constant lies
