lyrics

Hand over hand
Hoping the climb is a means to an end
It means it's the end
My Everest
I'll conquer it with a flick of my wrist

Settle the grudge
Slept through the earthquake in blankets of dust
Tectonics push
Colliding crusts
Pangaea broke like my faith
And my trust

It's something that'll leave you hollow
An emptiness inside your heart
Like drinking from a broken bottle
Chase your dreams with shots in the dark
It's somewhere where the wolves won't follow
Like shadows on a battle ground
So when you're staring down the barrel, chase your dreams and bury the doubt

Take me to task, held over hot coals you walk on my back
Compare and contrast
The cause, the collapse
Foundations fucked so start over from scratch

Sand into glass, Icarus inspired hearts made of wax
They know of the past, the impending crash
Strong willed and stubborn they're breaking their backs

It's something that'll leave you hollow
An emptiness inside your heart
Like drinking from a broken bottle
Chase your dreams with shots in the dark
It's somewhere where the wolves won't follow
Like shadows on a battle ground
So when you're staring down the barrel, chase your dreams and bury the doubt

So stand your ground and watch as the levees break
As time stands still
The monuments wash away

Rise like heat, feels like fucking forest fires follow me
Memories
Burned and scattered willingly
I've always, only, aimed to please myself


It's something that'll leave you hollow
An emptiness inside your heart
Like drinking from a broken bottle
Chase your dreams with shots in the dark
It's somewhere where the wolves won't follow
Like shadows on a battle ground
So when you're staring down the barrel, chase your dreams and bury the doubt
