Bridge on Fire

{sound of match striking} {anxious nervous system buzzing} (shhhh) {rhythmic match scraping,

minimalist design}

I struck the match

just to watch it glow

Now the floorboards are starting to show

That the heat is rising way too fast None of these structural

beams can last

(ahhh) {breathless dazed vocal delivery} There is nowhere left to run

from the light

Of the embers eating up

the night {ticking clock tension,

filter sweep rising}

Oh,

the bridge is burning behind my heels I can't undo how this

damage feels

Running hard from the headlights' glare

Chasing smoke in the freezing air (whoa-oh)

{heavy distorted

drop, shattered glass foley} Midnight spiral twisting in my chest

There is no time to lay down and rest

The headlights are catching up in the rearview

I did this to get far away from you

{dazed spoken-word delivery}

Let it crash

Let it break

Every single mistake

that I make

{heavy rhythmic thud, escalating heartbeats}

Fading out as the morning starts to wake

(fading...) {fading nervous synth hums,

distant glass

shattering}
