Verse 1
Born in the blackness, the mud is my mattress
No sun in this palace, just the rot and the malice
They call me a serpent, but I ain't got the venom
Just a hunger for the sky, a dream they can't pen wen'
I see a shadow above, a pillar of green
The baddest thing I ever seen, the stem of a queen
It's a rose, I suppose, a tower of thorns
My destiny's ripped, my ambition is torn
First inch is a battle, my skin starts to shred
Every spike like a shank, every leaf is a blade in my head
They laugh from the dirt, "Worm, you a fool!
That stem is a ladder to a grave, keep it cool!"
But I feel a vibration, a pulse in the bark
A silent invitation burning in the dark
So I tighten my grip, let the blood start to drip
This ain't about the fall, it's the strength in the grip.

Chorus
SCALES AND STEEL! (Yeah!)
Bleedin' on every rung!
The pain is the only thing keepin' my body strung!
WAITIN' AT THE TOP!
I don't know what she becomes!
But the rose is callin' for me, gotta climb until it's done!
THE CLIMB!
(They'll never understand it!)
THE THORNS!
(They'll never understand it!)
THE ROSE!
(The only thing I planned it!)
GOTTA REACH THE TOP!
(Till my whole world decays!)
Just to show 'em both our beauty at the end of all these days!

Verse 2
The wind tries to shake me, the rain tries to drown
I'm a speck on a skyscraper in this concrete town
of thorns
My body is a roadmap of cuts and contusions
Delusions of grandeur? Nah, this is my mission
My back is splittin', feel a strange kinda itch
Like somethin' inside me is makin' me twitch
But I can't stop to wonder, can't stop to rest
The peak is a promise, I put it to the test
A thorn in my gut, I'm leakin' and slow
The summit's a whisper, a place I don't know
But the stem starts to tremble, a quake in the vine
I feel her pain echoin', mixin' with mine
She's been waitin' in silence, a bud in the gray
Holding her beauty for the break of the day
She feels every struggle, every inch that I crawl
And her petals get tighter, protectin' it all... for the call.

Bridge
One more inch... I can't feel my skin...
Is this the top?... Is this where I bin?
The world falls away, just a petal, a leaf...
And then... the silence... breaks the belief.

Verse 3
The last pull... I breach the final crest
And collapse on a platform of green, put my body to rest
But I ain't a worm no more... my shell is split wide
A wetness on my back, a feelin' I can't hide
I look at the sky through eyes I never had
Multifaceted diamonds, no longer feelin' sad
I stretch out my wings, they're heavy and new
Covered in patterns of orange, black, and blue
And there, in front of me, the reason I came
The bud starts to shiver, whisperin' my name
She unfolds in slow motion, a silent, sweet storm
Revealin' the beauty she kept hidden and warm
Her petals are velvet, her heart is the sun
The climb and the wait... together, we won.
She looks at my wings, I look at her bloom
Two monsters from the bottom, escapin' the gloom.
No words need be spoken, no lies, no pretend
The worm and the rose... we reached the end.
And the beauty ain't hers, and it ain't mine to hold
It's the story of the climb... in a world that's so cold.

Outro 
Yeah...
From the mud to the sky.
We were always meant to fly.
Just had to bleed for it first.
The worm and the rose...
The climb was the point.
The journey the teacher..
I'm glad we didn't give up..
I'm glad that I reached her..
I'm glad that I reached her...

Intro Yeah... They don't tell you 'bout the bottom. They don't tell you 'bout the dirt. They just see the bloom... they never see the hurt. This ain't a fairy tale. This is a climb. One bar...at a time.
