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…
