Climb the Tower

Floor one

Deep breath

Heartbeat louder than the rest (yeah)

Step in, no reset

Ticket in my hand, got my life on the line

Names on the wall, they all crossed over time

I don’t chase crowns, I just climb, I just climb

Eyes on the gate, see it slide, hear it grind

Friends at my back, we the odd ones chosen

Blood on the stairs, but the core stays frozen

Every next test put a crack in my fear

If I fall once, I’ll be back next year (believe that)

Every floor, new rule, new scar

Every cut, paint a map on my heart

If it breaks me, I’ll break it apart

Tell the tower that I’ve come this far

I’m gonna climb this tower, level by level

Pressure in my chest, but I dance with the devil

If the world says stop, I go higher, higher

Every step I take, set the stone on fire

All of these walls try to shut me in

But I was built just to break through them

I’m gonna climb this tower, higher, higher

Till the sky look small under my empire (woah)

They say “wish big” but your wish costs blood

See a smile turn cold for a shot at the sun

I’ve seen best friends split over one cheap prize

Pretty little lies in their hungry eyes

I don’t need fate, that’s a rigged old game

I make new doors, I rename my pain

If the top means losing my soul in the smoke

I’ll flip this place, let the whole thing choke (hey!)

Every floor, new rule, new scar

Every cut, paint a map on my heart

If it breaks me, I’ll break it apart

Tell the tower that I’ve come this far

I’m gonna climb this tower, level by level

Pressure in my chest, but I dance with the devil

If the world says stop, I go higher, higher

Every step I take, set the stone on fire

All of these walls try to shut me in

But I was built just to break through them

I’m gonna climb this tower, higher, higher

Till the sky look small under my empire

Who am I if I reach that throne?

Hero, villain, just skin and bone?

If I lose me, what did I win?

I’d rather fall as myself than pretend (yeah)

I’m gonna climb this tower, level by level

Pressure in my chest, but I dance with the devil

If the world says stop, I go higher, higher

Every step I take, set the stone on fire

All of these walls try to shut me in

But I was built just to break through them

I’m gonna climb this tower, higher, higher

Till the sky look small under my empire (higher)

(higher, higher)
