Stretch Arm Strong Vision Lyrics

what makes me say this? i guess i know. a desire to express my
feelings. a desire not to let it go. what keeps me here when we're
so far apart. a commitment i've made. it's been planted in my heart.
"do the right thing" is a phrase that's so cliche. i try to keep my spirits
up my energy just won't fade. you said a mouthful but you never
opened up your mouth. you built the bridge and i burned it down.
you saw it all yet you never blinked an eye. you gave me everything
and i pushed it all aside. is it more than music? haven't we heard it all
before? so tell me. what is it that we keep striving for? will it make a
difference if i quit the race? i know it wont. my energy fades.
tell me one thing. was it ever real? the way you made me act.
the way you made me feel. do you remember from the very start?
it's been so long ago. i think that i forgot. you built the bridge.
i burned it down.
