[Intro]
Dark stairwell
Cold lift
Long ride
Same trainers
Same tired eyes
[Verse 1]
Bus stop rain on a Tuesday
Oyster card hanging by a thread
Mum says "eat" so she skips it
Plates full of worry instead
Friends went left
Some went missing
Names sprayed under the bridge
I kept my head in the kick drum
Heart in the bassline
Clenched fist
[Chorus]
From the ends to the apex
I climb
I climb
Turn the pain into pressure
Then diamonds shine
All the nights on the brink
I was holding the line
From the ends to the apex
This peak is mine
[Verse 2]
Bare weeks living on instant noodles
Big dreams saved in a cracked old phone
Rent due
Landlord at the doorway
I had sweat where the cash should’ve shown
Still I ran sets in a box room
Wallpaper peeling off the wall
One USB
One vision
Turned that echo into a call (yeah)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They said "stay in your place"
I turned that doubt to pace
I ran
I ran
No brakes
Face down fears I face
From queue to headline space
From grey blocks to bright stage
Every scar I embrace
Fuel for this next phase (woah)
[Chorus]
