The Bridge to Understanding

I like to think I could do it if I wanted to I tell myself it's situational, these things It's not your fault, it's not your fault Look around Everything is dying And I didn't see this coming Far away The sky was clear Lack of color has never been so threatening Ignition Start my flame again I can't be lost with you Feel it burrowing Relaying this information Is the only way I can move on Photographs are hard enough to look at But it's even harder through the layer of water This suspense is threatening Relaying this information is the only way I can move on And before you start to question everything Save your breath I like to think I could do it if I wanted to And it's confidence like that That will lead to my reign of success I like to tell myself It's situational, these things It's not your fault It's not your fault But I like to think I could make it there if I wanted to And it's faith like that That will pave the road to my story of success Realizing that it's pointless taking advice from you Always telling me right from wrong Like your the perfect moral compass I've already done more nice things Than you will in your entire life And it's thoughts like that That make me question my integrity But lately I've been feeling pretty good about myself Far away The sky's still clear But I've learned to never trust what you don't understand And my gut has never let me down So realign yourself And I'll walk away in a hastily fashion Look around Everything is dying Far away The sky looked clear And I gave in to false hope again I keep telling myself Never trust something that can't be explain I tell myself It's situational, these things It's not your fault, It's not your fault But lately I've been feeling pretty good about myself And it's confidence like that That will get me where I need to be Ignition Spark my flame In the background of a romantic scene In a suburban living room Set while snow is falling endlessly I know someday Expectations will be the death of me But along the way, I like to think, I could make it last If I wanted to
