[extended instrumental intro] [intro][whisper] "Gravity is a liar." "It tells you that the only way is down." [mute] Prove it wrong. My fingertips are shredded, staining the slate red Holding on a single breath, hanging by a thread The wind is clawing at my back, trying to rip me off The universe is betting that I’m gonna get soft [verse] I see the void below, it’s opening its mouth But I’ve got a different plan, I’m heading up not down Muscles screaming, lactic acid burns There is no point of no return! [pre-chorus] My knuckles have turned white I’m losing feeling, but I haven’t lost the fight Every inch is a battle Every second a war [chorus] I won’t let go Though the rock is jagged and the air is cold I’m clawing Clawing up Clawing up the face of everything I know -- Let the mountain shake Let the foundation break I’ll find a foothold in the chaos they create I am an anchor I won't give up I won't give in I'll hold on tight [break] [verse] Slip Catch Dig the nails in deep -- There is no time to rest There is no time to sleep -- They want to see a landslide? They want to see a crash? I’m carved from the granite I am not made of ash -- ONE! HAND! AT! A! TIME! -- Defy so-called logic Defy the weight I am the master of my own god damn fate [slow break] [Bridge][spoken word] "It’s easy to fall." "Falling requires zero effort." "Falling is surrender." "But to rise?" "To rise takes everything you have left." "And I have..." "All I can hold." [chorus][reprise] I won’t let go Though the rock is jagged and the air is cold I’m clawing Clawing up Clawing up the face of everything I know -- Let the mountain shake Let the foundation break I’ll find a foothold in the chaos they create I am an anchor I won't give up I won't give in I'll hold on tight [outro] I’m pulling myself up I see the summit -- I’m pulling myself up I see the sun -- I've made it up I've made it up [instrumental outro]
