Toss my keys in the river

Now I can't go home again

Burned up my phone book

Now I have to make a real friend

Threw away my watch and wallet

Now I have no time to spend

Gave up my vices

To stop the voices

And now they're back again

Gonna strip it all away

Gonna strip it all away

Gonna strip it all away

Gonna strip it all away

Closed my eyes

So I don't see things as they are

Stumbling in the darkness here

My life seems less bizarre

Can't shut my ears off

To the sounds of my own screams

No matter how I try

I can't escape my dreams

Gonna strip it all away

Gonna strip it all away

Gonna strip it all away

Gonna strip it all away

If I burned every bridge I crossed

Would that mean I am lost?

If I burned every bridge I crossed

Would that mean I am lost?

If I burned every bridge I crossed

Would that mean I am lost?

If I burned every bridge I crossed

Would that mean I am lost?

I've done things to myself

That I cannot forgivve

I've given up everything

Just so that I could live

I searched the whole world over

For the thing I cannot find

No one cares about my thoughts

So I guess I'll lose my mind

I gave it all away

I gave it all away

I gave it all away

I gave it all away

If I burned every bridge I crossed

And now I know, I know I am

If I burned every bridge I crossed

And now I know, I know I am

If I burned every bridge I crossed

And now I know, I know I am

If I burned every bridge I crossed

And now I know, I know I am
