A Mountain of Impossibilities (Upbeat)

There’s an echo that loops in the back of my mind In such high-definition, I wish it would fade A familiar ghost that I’m leaving behind In the quiet, improbable plans we made I acknowledge the distance, I acknowledge the time The bittersweet truth that sits at the core It’s a heavy perspective to find on the climb When you realize you can’t look back anymore I’m walking the trails of my inner psyche Where the pathways and turns all meet Staring down the paths where travel's unlikely With a silent new ache at my feet Yeah, this mountain is old, but the footprints are mine And I’m holding my ground at the end of the line There’s a pressure that builds when the chaos sets in When the world demands more than you have left to give You carry the burden, shoved down deep within And you search for a reason to let yourself live The pillars we lean on can vanish from sight Leaving us stranded on the outside Fences broken in the middle of the night With nowhere to run and no place to hide I’m walking the trails of my inner psyche Where the pathways and turns all meet Glancing down the paths where travel's unlikely With a biting old ache at my feet Yeah, the mountain is old, but the footprints are mine And I’m holding my ground at the end of the line It’s a strange kind of grief when you open the door And you feel like a stranger inside your own skin Learn to accept what the universe has in store And where the new chapters are bound to begin So I’ll keep to the path where the old trails connect And accept how the map has been drawn Standing here atop this familiar peak Just waiting to welcome the dawn
