Life is an Avalanche

[Instrumental Intro] [Instrumental: catchy distorted guitar hook, driving bass, punchy live drums, escalating energy, dramatic full-band landing] [Verse 1] I woke beneath a ceiling made of broken stone Every answer buried where the cold winds moan The weight keeps moving, I can feel it shift But I’m not letting fear decide how far I slip [Pre-Chorus] One more crack beneath my feet One more reason not to leave If the whole hillside starts to run I’ll face it when it comes [Chorus] Life is an avalanche, rushing for my name Rolling every doubt and dragging me through change I won’t disappear beneath the pressure and the past I’ll carve a line through everything and make the moment last [Verse 2] The days come down like gravel through a rusted door I count the bruises, then I ask what they are for No clean escape, no gentle warning sign Just one more breath to pull this scattered heart in line [Pre-Chorus] Let the ground give way below Let the buried memories show If I’m carried by the slide I’ll keep my hands above the tide [Chorus] Life is an avalanche, rushing for my name Rolling every doubt and dragging me through change I won’t disappear beneath the pressure and the past I’ll carve a line through everything and make the moment last [Bridge] For fifteen seconds, everything falls away A rising tone consumes the words I couldn’t say The world goes white, the distance disappears Then I hit the ground and find I’m still here [Final Chorus] Life is an avalanche, rushing for my name Rolling every doubt and dragging me through change I won’t disappear beneath the pressure and the past I’ll carve a line through everything and make the moment last [Outro] Still here Still moving Still here [pause] Life is an avalanche Life is an avalanche
