Bridge to Cross - Light This City

Standing over a fault line with a foot planted on either side

With the only world I ever knew balanced on one shoulder

And a heart I’m just getting used to beating on the other sleeve

I stood my ground in a place I knew I might never find peace

And as my foundation shakes

I’m left to wonder

Did I nurture this expanding divide

Golden bridges turn the color of flame

And suicide missions are redeemed when they become fatalities of natural

disasters

My steel core is melting

Oh

If you only knew about the doubts I allowed

To grow up through the cracks

Pushing their way out

Grasping at sunlight

I can’t choose a side

But I can’t stay here anymore

Standing on the edge

A voice begins to whisper

I’ve tried to ignore it

But I can’t avoid such a groundbreaking revelation

Standing on the edge of an abyss

Because I’m holding onto so much

I just might lose it all

I know where my real home is

And I’m leaving it behind
