What’s the Point of it all

Verse 1

Long days at the mill, sweat in my eyes

Cold, wet or burning, just chasing the prize

One more year, yeah, things gonna change

Then headlights blind me, and nothing’s the same

Best friends gone in a twist of steel

Young heart shattered, wounds that never heal

Pre-Chorus

Bones broken, spirit torn

World spins around, leaves you alone

Chorus

What’s the point of it all?

You just trip and you fall

Roll right back where you started to go

Climb up the mountain, watch it crumble below

What’s the point of it all?

You just trip and you fall

Verse 2

Teenager lost, friends turned to ghosts

Family Bible turned into walls and closed doors

Finally mending, starting to feel the light

Then the rug gets pulled, back into the night

Different beliefs, different blood in their veins

Now I’m standing here in the pouring rain

Chorus

What’s the point of it all?

You just trip and you fall

Roll right back where you started to go

Every step forward feels like a death blow

What’s the point of it all?

You just trip and you fall

Verse 3

Built a house with these calloused hands

Family laughing in a promised land

Then the market crashed, took the dream away

Empty pockets, watching it all decay

Packed up and moved, chased a better sky

Fifteen long years grinding just to get by

Verse 4

Business was booming, finally reached the top

Contracts flowing, thought the bleeding would stop

Then breakdowns hit and a selfish man appeared

Chasing TikTok fame, didn’t care who got steered

Ruined every relationship, burned it all down

Clients fired us fast, left us back on the ground

What’s the point of it all?

When you just trip and you fall…

Verse 5

New contracts rolling, big deals in the books

Finally catching up, getting out of the ruts

Time to breathe easy, spend days with the family

Make up for the lost years, live the life we dreamed to be

Bridge (slower, spoken-sung, building intensity)

Trusted her like family, heart on my sleeve

Bookkeeper’s smile hid a blade up her sleeve

Killed us slowly with a thousand cuts

One after one till the blood ran dry

Every dollar, every hour, every tear that I cried

Couldn’t bring the money back, trust me I tried

Served us up to the tax man, head on a plate

Gone in a wire, fifteen years died…

Why keep fighting when the reaper just laughs?

Guitar Solo (heavy, emotional, wailing bends and feedback)

Final Chorus (louder, layered vocals, raw and broken)

What’s the point of it all?!

You just trip and you fall

Roll right back where you started to go

I keep getting up, but Lord, I don’t know…

What’s the point of it all?

When you just trip and you fall…

Outro (fading, almost whispered over sparse guitar)

Trip and fall… roll right back…

What’s the point… at all…
