Marley'd in a room
Saturated with starving artists
And each one believes
That they've been built with different parts
Staring into eyes
Staring back at me
I wonder if they'll ever know
How much it petrifies me
To lose their attention
A disconnection of lives
I need to ease the tension
I need a sharper knife

Building bridges
Building bridges that connect
Building bridges that connect us to the cause

This is to me
What a match is to gasoline
Together we have built the wildest fire
Burning so erratically
Charleston-ing with our brains off
In the eye
Of the wildest fire

Alone, suspended in the
In the most golden of moments
Analyzing all these faces
Through off white, crimson eyes
Sneaking into hearts
As they're rummaging through mine
I wonder if they'll ever know
The damage we can do when we combine
It's bla-bla-bla-bla-blasphemy
How their a-a-a-a-after me
It's mad traffic in the road to the American dream
It's worth it, or so it seems

Building bridges
Building bridges that connect
Building bridges that connect us to the cause
of all this weighted bantor
Have you found out what you stand for?

This is to me
What a match is to gasoline
Together we have built the wildest fire
Burning so erratically
Charleston-ing with our brains off
In the eye
Of the wildest fire


There's no more time to waste....
Let's set this whole place up in flames!

Building bridges
Building bridges that connect
Building bridges that we know we'll never burn
All we have is our relationships
All we have is what we can't take with when we die.
So stay alive
Staring into your eyes
I see the wildest fire

This is to me
What a match is to gasoline
Together we have built the wildest fire
Burning so erratically
Charleston-ing with our brains off
In the eye
Of the wildest fire
