Bridge and Tunnel Lyrics by Titus Andronicus

The Will to Live

2022

Meet me beneath the bridge, my darling
There I make my lair
Cleaner homes they may await me
Though I know not where
My only home is nowhere any noble man would dare
To lay his head for fear of finding snakes slithering in his hair
I made this place into a sacred sanctuary, where I
Hide from eyes of spiteful judgment, lying vipers in disguise
But nothing can they take from me, for nothing do I own
Nothing do I give them freely, nothing that they'vе known
Nothing's what I carry, as I drag my bag of bones
Nothings what I have, my darling
That and that alone
Naught havе I to offer, but my body for to bear
Any burden placed upon you
Any hurt, we two will share
And whatever meager fleeting joy or fortune I should meet
I will gratefully lay completely at the feet of my great queen
Though I could give my labor to no master, nor no cause
And before betraying one neighbor I would disobey eight laws
I'll break nine rules before I take one order from one fool
And so across the border, I was chased straight out of school
Ha
[Instrumental break]
Should I meet beneath the bridge, my love?
What shall I wear?
What garment for to shield me from the harm that I'd find there?
What cloak to cover up my vulnerable soul?
What broach of goal will keep me out of reach of demons
Keen to eat me whole?
There once were woods where one could dream, unseen by eyes of man
And one could find an easy sleep there once, now no one can
The trees were razed, mountains paved
The caves collapsed and closed
And now no bear or fox or deer can keep from being exposed
To those who would drink deeply from an opening in their throats
Where once there'd been no opening, once before the fangs were shown
The forest was a fearful place dear, frightening, but fair
And we may never know the peace of those who slumbered there
