Static climb
Intro] [Whispering] The echo of a promise... Meant for more... [Verse 1] Standing in the valley, where the sun feels warm and safe Got a map inside my pocket, showing lines I can't erase There's a ghost upon the summit, wears a face that looks like mine But I'm comfortable in shadows, yeah, I tell myself I'm fine [Build] The air is getting heavy, the ground is turning sour I watch the seconds wither, kill another golden hour The summit calls my name in a language made of thunder But the fear of falling forward pulls me under... pulls me under! [Drop] [Powerful, shouting vocals] AMBITION IGNORED IS A POISON IN THE VEINS! THIS BITTERNESS INSIDE ME IS ALL THAT REMAINS! BETTER TO STRUGGLE FORWARD, BETTER TO BREAK AND BLEED! THAN ROT HERE IN THE GARDEN, PLANTED WITH A USELESS SEED! [Verse 2] I curse the ones who're climbing, I curse the ones who try I build my walls with envy underneath a perfect sky This comfort is a cage now, the bars are made of rust And every muted dream just turns to dust... turns to dust [Build] The air is getting heavy, the ground is turning sour I watch the seconds wither, kill another golden hour The summit calls my name in a language made of thunder But the fear of falling forward pulls me under... PULLS ME UNDER! [Drop] [Powerful, shouting vocals] AMBITION IGNORED IS A POISON IN THE VEINS! THIS BITTERNESS INSIDE ME IS ALL THAT REMAINS! BETTER TO STRUGGLE FORWARD, BETTER TO BREAK AND BLEED! THAN ROT HERE IN THE GARDEN, PLANTED WITH A USELESS SEED! [Bridge] Was it safety that I wanted? Or an excuse to stay? The man I could've been... He just slowly fades away Fades away... [Build] [Music swells back in, more desperate and frantic than before] No more echoes, no more lies, just the fire in my eyes! This static is a scream inside, from the person that has died! One last chance to break the chain! One last breath to scream through the pain! SCREAM THROUGH THE PAIN! [Drop] [The most intense and climatic drop of the song] AMBITION IGNORED IS A POISON IN THE VEINS! THIS BITTERNESS INSIDE ME IS ALL THAT REMAINS! BETTER TO STRUGGLE FORWARD, BETTER TO BREAK AND BLEED! THAN ROT HERE IN THE GARDEN, PLANTED WITH A USELESS SEED! [Outro] [Whispering] ...better to fall... than never climb at all...
