The sky cracked wide open, the mountains started to shake
Everything I built was a promise about to break
Heavy stones were falling, crashing all around
I was dodging the rubble on this shaking ground
Reaching for the edge, reaching for a thread
With a thousand different shadows running through my head
(Chorus)
Holding onto the ledge till my fingers began to slip
Looking down into the black, praying not to fall in it
Yeah, I didn't know the depth, didn't know the cost
Suspended in the middle of everything I lost
Then my grip gave away, nothing left to hold
Just a long drop down into the dark and the cold
(Verse 2)
Freefalling through the silence, waiting for the end
Tracing every broken piece, trying to make it bend
But the falling didn't break me, the wind became a friend
Just when I thought the midnight would never ever end
The air cleared out, the smoke began to fade
And I stopped fighting the ghost that I made
(Chorus)
Holding onto the ledge till my fingers began to slip
Looking down into the black, praying not to fall in it
Yeah, I didn't know the depth, didn't know the cost
Suspended in the middle of everything I lost
Then my grip gave away, nothing left to hold
Just a long drop down into the dark and the cold
(Bridge)
But I didn't keep dropping into the deep
I woke up from the nightmare I was forced to keep
My eyes flew open, the shadows turned around
When I felt both my feet hit solid ground
Yeah, the dark gave away, the heavy air cleared
The ground started to rumble, but it wasn't what I feared
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
No more holding onto the ledge while my fingers start to slip
No more looking at the black, afraid of falling in it
I finally know the depth, I finally know the cost
And I found a little light in the things that I lost
When my grip gave away, I thought I'd lose it all
But the solid ground was waiting right beneath the fall
(Outro)
Hit solid ground
The dark gave away
The ground rumbled loud
And it's a brand new day
Yeah, the ground it rumbled
But I'm standing now
On solid ground
