Burning Branches - Jumping Ship

Get me off the ground

I may be at a low

But I’m not down and out

I’ve been burning my problems

And wearing the ashes

Running through the trees

Stepping over the branches

Just want to find my way back

Take the ghost of my crimes

And carve it into my skin

As a constant reminder

Of getting better again

I’m covering my tracks

I’ve been nothing but bitter

Nowhere but the gutter

And I’m not great

But I’m getting better

So give me a bit

But don’t let me blow it

Yeah I’ll be fine

Just don’t let me waste my time

God as my witness

I’ll make it through this

I’m done with counting myself out

And doubting

Every choice I make

(Every choice I make)

I’ve been nothing but bitter

Nowhere but the gutter

And I’m not great

But I’m getting better

So give me a bit

But don’t let me blow it

Yeah I’ll be fine

Just don’t let me waste my time

I hope being hopeful will get me home

And I hope all the loneliness leaves me alone x2

I may be on my own

But I’m not down and out

I’m not burning my bridges

I’m setting flame to all my doubts
