about

Melody's debut, self-produced single.

You may choose to use your weapons
to manipulate or betray.
Or you may raise your weapon --
cut your chains, and walk away.

lyrics

Oh, that's a perfect stick you found,
and now, you can carve it
into anything you ever wanted.
I know that you sleep quiet and sound --
because you've always got a knife in your back pocket.

Slice away the pieces you don't need:
got yourself another living project.
But your eyes give away everything you see --
and I know when your dreams wake up
they wish they could be me.

Yeah, I know when your dreams wake up
they wish they could be me.

The best time for burning bridges
is when the river is running high.
It's all water under the bridge
that you set on fire.

You've got a knife in your back pocket,
all I've got it my teeth.
You're full of smoke and smooth-talkin'
but you are no sharper than me.
And I'm doing my best to make my exit gracefully
knowing that nothing cuts deeper than when I leave.

The best time for burning bridges
is when the river is running high.
You know it's all water under the bridge
that you set on fire.
