about

I've felt like this for a long time. Finally wrote a song about that. Some times some ties have to be cut, right?

lyrics

"Burning Bridges"

(Verse 1)
They say "No man is an island."
Thats surprising
Cause I've been a castaway for sometime and
The sun's not shining the moon's not rising
I'm alone in a world of my own
Wasn't always this way but this is to where it's grown
The people I've known have set sail or flown
Old friends are now memories I own
I'm stranded here now at this spot alone
Cause I've burnt my bridges
Yeah nigga I burnt my bridges
Sent fire to them bitches
I regret I did it
Each second, each minute
Sometimes I want my final hour visit
'Cause I can't live with it
I'm ashamed that I pushed so many people away
That nowadays
Ion't talk to nobody I'm caught with nobody
I walk alone and hear 'em whisper that's a nobdoy

(hook)
Ive lost so many friendships
So many kinships
I'm alone I've burnt all my bridges
(So many friendships, So many kinships,
I'm alone ,I've burnt all my bridges)
Ive lost so many friendships
So many kinships
I'm alone I've burnt all my bridges
(So many friendships, So many kinships,
I'm alone ,I've burnt all my bridges)

(Verse 2)
Ive lost opportunities
Cause I've stupidly offended people
That could really make moves for me
Hardheadedness sometimes influence me
To act on an impulse without thinking thoroughly
And that worries me I try to put it in check
But when I play chess with myself
I lose
Off a sign of disrespect
I'm losina all of my cool
Like sun rays on a pool
I gotta bring you the blues
I should know better
But nope this what I do
I get mad, and then rude
Then everything fall through
Man, that's how it ends
Another gone in the wind
Man, I stay losing friends
Can't keep none in
We dont talk again
Or chop it up like men
They avoid me and then ion't holla at them
Its sucks it's like that
But fuck it's like that
They can keep their distance
Let me burn bridges

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
They say no man is an island
That's surprising
I've been one deep and im still surviving
No allies just I: Simon
No downtime just grind: Rhymin'
Cant sweat the past, it already passed
All those bridges are ash
There's no more I could ask
From my friends to my dad
To connections I've had
They're now out of my grasp
In a way I'm glad
That I'm here by my lonesome
Bottom of the totem
'Cause now I gotta do it by myself
Time to show em
I only roll with two others
And they're in my scrotum
Middle finger throwin'
To the world while I hold 'em
Feelin' so emboldened
... In spite of the pain
I'm walking with my head
While outside in the rain
I'mma do what I gotta 'til I finish
Even if I burn every one of my bridges
