"Burn the Ships" by For King & Country

"Burn the Ships" is about facing your fears, addictions or whatever is holding you captive, and burning it and leaving it behind. Leave the past behind, and step into a new day!

How did we get here?

We're cast away on a lonely shore

I can see in your eyes, dear

It's hard to take for a moment more

We've got to 

Burn the ships, cut the ties

Send a flare into the night

Say a prayer, turn the tide

Dry your tears and wave goodbye

Step into a new day

We can rise up from the dust and walk away

We can dance upon our heartache, yeah

So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships

And don't you look back

Don't let it arrest you

This fear, this fear of fallin' again

And if you need a refuge

I will be right here until the end

Oh, it's time to 

Burn the ships, cut the ties

Send a flare into the night

Say a prayer, turn the tide

Dry your tears and wave goodbye

Step into a new day 

We can rise up from the dust and walk away

We can dance upon our heartache, yeah

So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships

And don't you look back

So long to shame, walk through the sorrow

Out of the fire into tomorrow

So flush the pills, face the fear

Feel the weight disappear 

We're comin' clean, we're born again

Our hopeful lungs can breathe again

Oh, we can breathe again
