Rain falls down in concentration,
I [bad word] to the realization
That this place I'd once forsaken
Will consume my generation.

Countless, endless summers
Opposing everything we've worked for.
It was foolishness that made us wish
We could trade it all away.

"But that was years ago, - he [bad word] -
Back when we smiled and tipped our mugs.
time when boys were men,
Friends never stood alone.
Do you remember when I said:
"I'd never walk this town again"?
But you didn't believe me and now

We cross our bridges only when we reach them
We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
We cross, we burn, we cross and we burn
Day after day this is the nothing we've learned

Progress for their promise
Hold my breath, now we're all hostage
Bite your tongue there, son, you're just no one
Too young to know the beat

And I'm not asking you for much more
Only something I could strive for
If I keep pride outside my head then
In my heart there will be peace

"But that was years ago, - he screams -
Back when we still believed our dreams.
And now we're left to doubt
Outstanding self owed debts.
Do you remember when we said:
"We'd never end up just like them -
Lost and bereaved"?

We cross our bridges only when we reach them
We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
We cross, we burn, we cross and we burn
Day after day is the nothing we've learned?
Can't we see what we owe to ourselves?
