Ledger Don’t Lie (Riverbank Resignation)

[Intro] Count-in One, two, three, four! I found the bridge Yeah I found the bridge I found the bridge I can burn [Verse 1] I found a bridge down by the river Made of deadlines, blame, and strain Held it up with both hands shaking While they called the whole thing sane Every rotten beam was painted Every warning filed and shelved I kept carrying the load there While they congratulated themselves [Verse 2] I tried to hold that structure With every final nerve I had Tried to brace the floor beneath it Through every crooked day gone bad Some things you fix with sweat and tape Some things you leave and let collapse Some things only make damn sense When you finally stop going back [Chorus] It’s the bridge I can burn And I’m saying it plain Got my notice in my pocket Got your mess in my name I’m not auctioning grievances I’m not softening the file The ledger speaks for itself And this decision is final [Verse 3] Here’s your keys and here’s your badge back Here’s your access, clean and done I won’t torch the archive on you I won’t touch what’s not my own I won’t tamper, hide, or smuggle I won’t salt the ground or run But don’t mistake a calm departure For forgiveness from anyone [Bridge] Preserve the record Preserve the logs Preserve the side chats Preserve the frauds Final pay Final forms Final silence After storms Keep the chandeliers from falling Keep your story straight this time I’m done carrying your failures And calling that “professional pride” [Final Chorus] It’s the bridge I can burn Yeah I’m burning it clean No more holding up the ceiling For a broke-down machine I’m not waiving any rights here I’m not staying for denial The ledger speaks for itself And this decision is final It’s the bridge I can burn And I’m leaving upright With my boots on, with my name on, With the whole damn record right You can keep your broken process You can keep your practiced smile The ledger speaks for itself And this decision is final [Outro] Formal notice from the riverbank Formal notice from the riverbank The bridge I can burn The bridge I can burn This decision is final
