Hand over hand Hoping the climb is a means to an end It means it's the end My Everest I'll conquer it with a flick of my wrist
Settle the grudge Slept through the earthquake in blankets of dust Tectonics push Colliding crusts Pangaea broke like my faith And my trust
It's something that'll leave you hollow An emptiness inside your heart Like drinking from a broken bottle Chase your dreams with shots in the dark It's somewhere where the wolves won't follow Like shadows on a battle ground So when you're staring down the barrel, chase your dreams and bury the doubt
Take me to task, held over hot coals you walk on my back Compare and contrast The cause, the collapse Foundations fucked so start over from scratch
Sand into glass, Icarus inspired hearts made of wax They know of the past, the impending crash Strong willed and stubborn they're breaking their backs
It's something that'll leave you hollow An emptiness inside your heart Like drinking from a broken bottle Chase your dreams with shots in the dark It's somewhere where the wolves won't follow Like shadows on a battle ground So when you're staring down the barrel, chase your dreams and bury the doubt
So stand your ground and watch as the levees break As time stands still The monuments wash away
Rise like heat, feels like fucking forest fires follow me Memories Burned and scattered willingly I've always, only, aimed to please myself
It's something that'll leave you hollow An emptiness inside your heart Like drinking from a broken bottle Chase your dreams with shots in the dark It's somewhere where the wolves won't follow Like shadows on a battle ground So when you're staring down the barrel, chase your dreams and bury the doubt
