Bridges
Do you fight any urges? (yes I fight)
With a hand full of feathers and dreams that only keep you up at night
Do you walk on burning bridges? (yes I walk)
Back to ill fitting places, cold and weathered faces you thought you lost
I want to know do you walk
Do you side with the sinners?
Born to fade, bad to know, friends of mine
Do you walk on burning bridges
When it's fate more than decision bringing you back to visions of men you crossed
I want to know do you walk, or if you talk to the dark
I want to know do you walk
Do you walk on burning bridges ( I walk)

Anticipation
Faced with the thrill of the hunt or the kill
You’d think I’d rather run, and let my feet chase a fading buzz
But you by my side, driving fifty miles and miles
We hit the ground jogging and the radio was giving us fuzz
The way they put their hands on me, I still said no oh what was I thinking
To live a life so lonely, oh who was it all for?
It would be you all along
School could have been one big lesson of how to fit in
I hit myself with Pavement and my back was up against the wall
And what did it get me for a while?
A pack a day habit and a salvation style
I was rethinking my decisions that lead me to the dilettantes’ ball
A shitty bar on Bowery, we talked all night I must have been drinking
We spoke of Bruce and denim jeans, that’s when it dawned on me
It would be you all along
Be you all along
You know you're no friend of mine, you're more like my halo

Walking to Hell
As my feet set down on the road towards my fate
I couldn't help but thing about how nice it was paved
With every sinful moment from my mortal days
As my feet set down
All the sermons I skipped had been properly placed
I nearly tripped on a debt that I had yet to pay
A tree of wasted talent gave the bitterest shade
As my feet set down
Walking to hell
Walking to hell
And I’m treading on memories that I've tried to quell
As I walk to hell
There was a puddle or two filled with tears of regret
From when i should have said yes instead of hedging my bets
I passed a stream of iquor and a fence of cigarettes
As my feet set down
Well as a kid I heard all of the stories they tell
About how good intentions pave the road to hell
Well they took those good intentions and they built a wishing well
As my feet set down
Walking to hell
Walking to hell
And my soul is worn out but I wear it well
As I walk to hell
As my feet set down towards my celestial tomb
I was shocked to find that no horizon loomed
'Cause hell aint fell of devils its an empty room while you take stock of yourself
Hell aint full of devils its the things you do that you know will hurt yourself
Hell aint full of devils its the sound of your shoes while you’re walking by yourself

Hard on Me
A punk was closer to what I needed
So I reached and I was towed
And now I’m older in bits and pieces
Can anyone teach does anyone know
And it’s hard, hard on me
The names get colder in outer reaches
Their rumors float in idle talk
My head gets hot! I pull out demons
With my own hands I’ve hurt a lot
And it’s hard on me, too lately.
Hard on me

Sepia
Well the sepia pictures that you put on your wall
Are the reason why I have disdain for you all
You look backwards and side to side
You didn’t earn that tint, you didn’t live that life
You gotta live that life there honey
The cookie only comes after feeling crummy
Well your grannies’ pictures they're in black and white (You're headed for a letdown)
But in her color days color meant a fight
You go “oooh” it seems so warm
Under the radiant glare of an atom bomb
You see the past wasn’t rosy honey
It had its Rosenbergs and war drum dummies
You’ve gone and lost your filter
You’re never hard to reach
You’re tripping out over brunches and Rockaway beach
When I look back deep and I think real hard
I remember GCT without machine gunned guards
I’ll tell the youngins’ it’s strange but true
I used to ride on planes and I would wear my shoes
But until digital gets fuzzy there’ll be no sepia
The liar’s dummy
Look what you’re becoming
