[Verse 1] Ice in my lungs Teeth on the wind Maps torn and crumpled Snow seals us in Footprints like questions Lost in the white Every small heartbeat Dares the height [Pre-Chorus] We trade warmth for wonder We trade names for numbers Clouds below Stars ahead [Chorus] Summit fever in my veins Burning higher than the pain One more step one more breath til we reach the end If this hunger takes me whole Let it carve into my soul One more step one more breath til we reach the end [Verse 2] Rope cuts my gloves Blood in the frost Friends turn to shadows Echoes we’ve lost Hope wears a helmet Cracked down the side Fear keeps on talking I let it slide [Pre-Chorus] We chase ghosts of glory Rewrite the same story Every fall Feels like fate [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If I turn back now Will I dream of this wall Will the ridge call my name As I’m learning to fall [piano and cello only] I see flags in the silence I see faces I’ve known All the prayers on this ridgeline Laid out in stone [Chorus]
