The Bridge No One Ever Crossed

[Intro: stark, futuristic synths w/ ominous echoes] A sky of static hums above A fading echo of what we called love The earth lies quiet, its story glossed Wishing we’d stayed at the bridge no one ever crossed [Verse 1: haunting vocals, slow rhythm] The wires whispered dreams too bright A hunger that devoured the night We built machines to touch the stars But forgot the beating hearts we are [Pre-Hook: rising tension, layered synths] What price did we pay to feel this loss To stand alone, at the bridge no one ever crossed? [Hook: soaring yet melancholic] Oh, we reached too far, too fast, too blind Left our souls and bodies far behind Now silence reigns where we once fought For a bridge no one should have crossed [Verse 2: reflective tone, metallic undertones] The towers gleamed, a silver lie Promising answers to questions why We sought perfection, we craved control But lost the spark that made us whole [Pre-Hook 2: aching, stripped back] Did we dream too hard, did we dream too much Was the fire too fierce for the flame to touch And now we’re the ghosts in the data, embossed On a bridge no one ever crossed [Hook 2: fuller, with ethereal harmonies] Oh, we reached too far, too fast, too blind Left our souls and bodies far behind Now silence reigns where we once fought For a bridge no one should have crossed [Interlude: spoken word over desolate soundscape] Listen… do you hear the wind? It doesn’t carry laughter, or sin Just the empty hum of progress won At the cost of everything, at the edge of undone [Finale: desperate, anthemic build] Oh, if we could turn and face the light Undo the stars we erased that night We’d let the future remain uncrossed Leave that bridge to the frost [Outro: fading echoes, cold resolution] A sky of static hums above A fading echo of what we called love The earth lies quiet, its story glossed Wishing we’d stayed at the bridge no one ever crossed
