lyrics

Fight the feeling of welcoming apathy,
Why don't you trust in your words?
Rediscover the meaning of empathy,
Or what you thought you knew
But you’re not alone,
This indecision will find you where you hide,
As our bias reignites

Watch the ash and embers fall on what we used to know,
As these bridges burn

Brighter, burns this flame
So carry on, when nothing’s left but dust
Our choices all but cinders, for what’s done is done
All, faces shown,
Leave the lies and fears behind,
And bask in your destruction, for what’s done is done

Watch the ash and embers fall on what we used to know,
As these bridges burn,
They’re Burning beneath us.

We are choking slowly,
Breathe the ashes into my lungs,
Take the blame for you see,,
We’re all guilty,
Cease this disillusion
You are not the victim here
Take this pain inside and
Tell yourself what’s done is done

What’s done is done

(You’re not alone)

You’re not alone,
We’ve burned these bridges you see,
And for these acts of aggression,
We’re all guilty
You’re not alone,
This Pain spreads like a disease
And despite our intentions,
It always will be

What’s done is done.
