The Bridge Lyrics by Will Gardiner

Please Speak Softly

2021

[Verse 1]
Right close to my house
If you walk into the forest
You’ll find a bridge made of concrete and fear
Train tracks cover the top
And trees shroud the pathway
But I always know where to look
What I found in the summer sun
I’ve known this place my entire life
I’ve watched it age and change
The graffiti gets painted over time and time again
But it still creeps along the walls
[Verse 2]
The train screams over the tracks
It’s louder than I could ever yell
I would go up there just to feel thе power as it shot across the bridge
As I fеll deeper into myself
I found out how to cross over
Holes that would take me to heaven
I pulled away from everyone close
One by one I ruled them out
The gate’s too close and the door too open
Running away to my final destination
So of course it ended at the bridge
[Verse 3]
I was scared at first of course
But that faded quickly
I walked with a hole inside my soul so deep I couldn't think
I made plan after plan
Wrote too many things down
The finale has to be the best part of the show
The signs were getting stronger then
I could almost hear Him speak it
The path before me kept getting shorter and shorter
[Verse 4]
There was such a serene peace in knowing
In those few hours I felt total calm
It wasn’t bad or exciting
Just complete acceptance
[Verse 5]
I stopped believing in God after He told me to kill myself
Maybe it was just delusion but how could I ever know
Maybe it was an act of God that I didn’t do it
But I’m tired of giving credit to ghosts
