Yeah, I wrote this after getting dumped. It took 15 minutes, the song not the dumping. I went for coffee with a friend and left to write this tune. I love playing it.
The bridge of this song, is an interaction I had with two mormon missionaries while en route to purchase a bottle of Wild Turkey.
The clip is from Blue Velvet
lyrics
I wrote you off yesterday
tell me why i alway feel this way
looking round’ an empty room
I’m staring into my lonely tomb
it’s just how i act,
Cant present myself with tact
burning bridges that matter most
guess you got too close
i’ll ruin it for the both of us
embedded in myself
you laid your trust
ill ruin it until we rust
threw Hemingway out the window
A lesson learned but I forgot it
bad blood, bad blood
Bad blood, with those that I love
i’ll ruin it for the both of us
embedded in myself
you laid your trust
ill ruin it until we rust
What do you believe in
Nothing I’m a nihilist
what do you believe in
nothing, I’ll cut my losses
Now that this is done,
at my heads your loaded gun
I burnt the bridge and now I rust
Now you rust
return to dust
