The bridge that burned - Zyric Kane
Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
I'm standing on the riverbank every stick with soot
With the charcoal of the always crumbling under my foot
It wasn't a bolt of lightning or a sudden act of God
Just the friction of the miles and the paths that we tried
The timber started groaning under the weight of the lies
And the smoke began to billow toward the charcoal-colored skies
I watched the first spark catch on a promise we made
And I didn't move a muscle to step into the shade
And it's the bridge that burned in the middle of the night
Casting a jagged and a localized light
The way back is gone the cedar is black
There's no magic level to bring the wood back
The water down below is a mercury tide
Dividing the here from the other side
Yeah the heat is a monster and the lessons are learned
From the ashes and the embers of the bridge that burned
Hmmm
Hmmm
Yeah
Your silhouette a shadow on the far shore
And I don't think I can hear your voice anymore
The architecture's falling in a rhythmic display
Of every maybe and forever we threw away
It's a structural cleansing a thermal decree
That there's no more us and there's no more we
I'm warming my hands by the wreck of the span
Watching the ending of a half-finished plan
Did I light the match? Did you fan the flame?
Or is the oxygen and silence the one we should blame?
Either way the crossing is a memory now
A skeleton of salt and a broken-down vow
And it's the bridge that burned in the middle of the night
Casting a jagged and a localized light
The way back is gone the cedar is black
There's no magic level to bring the wood back
The water down below is a mercury tide
Dividing the here from the other side
Yeah the heat is a monster and the lessons are learned
From the ashes and the embers of the bridge that burned
Let it fall into the deep
Promises we couldn't keep
If the fires die and the river is wide
I'll stay on my own quiet side
The bridge is gone
The bridge is gone
I'm standing on
Hmm I'm standing on
Hmmm
