Come where the city turns to gold Where every window knows your name There's always room above the clouds For someone willing to ascend Leave all the smaller things below They only taught you how to wait The view gets clearer with each floor And every door will know your face Keep climbing Don't look beneath you You've come too far To fear the height Higher Where the lights can't reach you Higher Where no one hears you fall Take everything you came for Stand where you wanted it all You'll die at the top. Funny how power changes hands Before the blood has even dried A handshake made behind closed doors A promise sharpened on both sides You learned to never trust the lift You learned which staircase has no eyes But every secret that you bought Has someone waiting with the price Keep climbing They're right behind you There's nowhere left Except the height Higher Where the lights can't reach you Higher Where no one hears you fall Take everything you killed for Stand where you wanted it all You'll die at the top. Now look at everything below The names you buried disappear You thought the summit made you safe There's nowhere left to vanish here No higher floor No second door No friendly hand No final bluff You spent your life becoming king Now you're high enough. Did you think the crown would save you? Did you think the height meant power? Every empire has a ceiling. Every king receives his hour. Higher Now the lights are far beneath you Higher And no one hears you fall You have everything you came for You stand above them all You'll die You'll die You'll die at the top. What a beautiful view.
