Burning to the Ground

The bolts meet the metal on the structure
They pass over thinking nothing is wrong
Next thing they know the bridge is punctured
And the cars fall off as they proceed along
The bridge has been burning for quite some time
But they never noticed, at least until now
Now that they are on the brink, about to die
They claw at the remains as they’re going down

The bridge is burning to the ground
The people are lost and cannot be found
If the bridge falls and no one’s around
Can anyone actually hear the sound?
Of their desperate, hopeless screams
Can anyone hear their resolute pleas?
Can anyone fix their now dead dreams?
Their world tears apart at the seams

The creaking of metal now gets louder
The bridge now shakes taking pressure off it
Because both sides wanted the power
Both sides held out, and none wanted to soften
Now the stress makes the bridge start to fracture
They never dealt with the problem until now
There won’t be a happily ever after
They claw as their fairytale is going down

The bridge is burning to the ground
The people are lost and cannot be found
If the bridge falls and no one’s around
Can anyone actually hear the sound?
Of their desperate, hopeless screams
Can anyone hear their resolute pleas?
Can anyone fix their now dead dreams?
Their world tears apart at the seams

Finding it all just a little too cumbersome
They see the days of rest just on the horizon
So they fall asleep to their favorite number one
Each song acting as a liaison
But nothing is bringing them back
They are now apart, and hatred is brewing
He’s saw it coming and already had his bags packed
And she still does not know what she’s doing

The bridge was already burnt down
The people are lost and cannot be found
When the bridge falls and no one’s around
Can anyone actually hear the sound?
Of their desperate, hopeless screams
Can anyone hear their resolute pleas?
Can anyone fix their now dead dreams?

Their world fell apart at the seams
