[Verse 1] The glass is cold against the palm A simulated sense of calm You’re watching numbers turn to gray While the safest play just slips away The walls are high, the vault is deep But what is left for you to keep? If the pulse is flat and the air is thin How do you plan to let the light back in? [Pre-Chorus] Static in the wire, a heavy price to pay For the comfort of the shadows where you stay The clock is ticking louder than the fear inside There’s nowhere left for the timid soul to hide! [Chorus] In the hollow of the hold, the story’s told If you never break the mold, you’re growing old clutching tight to what you think you’ve won Until the gravity of "nothing" is all that’s done! If you don't risk a thing, you risk it all Standing paralyzed before the wall Hold the line until the carbon turns to stone You’ll find your kingdom, but you’ll sit alone! [Verse 2] [Bass-driven rhythm with sharp, syncopated guitar stabs] They call it madness, they call it greed To plant a forest from a single seed But the sheltered life is a fragile cage A blank white ink on a turning page To save the breath is to lose the song To wait for "right" is to stay in "wrong" The paradox is a jagged blade You lose the world in the peace you made! [Bridge] Tighten the grip! Don’t let it slip! The soul you save is the one you lose In the narrow path that you dared to choose! White knuckles burn! Wait for the turn! The treasure isn't what you’ve locked away It’s the fire you stoked in the light of day! [Chorus] If you don't risk a thing, you risk it all Standing paralyzed before the wall Hold the line until the carbon turns to stone You’ll find your kingdom, but you’ll sit alone! [Outro] Diamond hands! Diamond hands! Lose it to find it! Lose it to find it!
