The light turns red
You stop without thinking
No words to be said
All signals obeyed
Someone gives you
What you thought you were missing
Until they give proof
That you've been betrayed
Your mind in repose
Awakened by fire
Your helpful hand
Feels the bite from a viper
We like to believe
What doesn't kill makes us stronger
That pain will retreat
Like smoke as it wanders
When flames get too hot
Let'm burn
Stand back from the heat
Don't get hurt
Faith open-eyed
Hit or miss
Take the risk
There will always be those
Who choose a burning bridge
You ask yourself
If your own hands are dirty
Fueled on by hubris
Selfishness or pride
But you can't control
Hidden agenda diverging
Like a forked tongue expression
And a look right in the eyes
When flames get too hot
Let'm burn
Let them burn
Don't let your feet
Touch the scorching earth
Faith open-eyed
Hit or miss
Take the risk
Though they'll always be some
Who want to burn that bridge
When flames get too hot
Let'm burn
Stand back from the heat
Keep your word
Don't get hurt
Faith open-eyed
Hit or miss
Take the risk
There will always be those
Who choose a burning bridge
Just let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
