Route 40 Bridge

[Verse 1]
Silhouetted forms along the roadside edge
Weathered hands, timeworn pledge
Patterns in the night I can’t ignore
Echoes of the past, repeating once more

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every misstep, every fleeting glance
Shows me what to seek, what I must unfast

[Verse 2]
The road ahead twists, traces I’ve known
Signals lost in fog, connections torn
Every heartbeat maps the path I follow
Guided by lessons that quietly grow

[Chorus 1]
Route 40 Bridge, I feel the pull
Ghosts of mistakes, lessons to cull
Sever the ties, the weight I shed
Drive into clarity, no words unsaid

[Verse 3]
I pull it over where the water roars below
Kill the lights, let the engine finally go
Step onto asphalt, the bridge exhales its mist
Every choice I’ve made now clenched in my fist

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The spirits whisper, shapes distort
Yet I remain steadfast to the very end

[Chorus 2]
Route 40 Bridge, the currents rage
Ties undone, breaking free from the cage
Release the bonds, the pull, the pain
Every mile forward, I reclaim again

[Bridge]
Darkness hums beneath the beams
Flickers of insight, fractured dreams
I stand between the night and dawn
Lessons earned, the past withdrawn

[Chorus 3]
Route 40 Bridge, the world shifts tight
Tearing loose what once held me in flight
Sever the ties, the chains, the cold
I move beyond the story told

[Verse 4]
Reflection in the river, a spark in the gloom
The road behind fades, the night resumes
Footfalls reverberate, dawn draws near
Every pattern detached, every truth clear

[Chorus 4]
Route 40 Bridge, no turning back
Forms dissolve behind, I stay on track
Sever the ties, let the currents take
I claim the path that I alone will make

[Chorus 5 – Outro]
Route 40 Bridge, the past fades out
Every thread unraveled, every secret wanes
Sever the ties, embrace the sky
I walk ahead — the night steps aside
