Ground

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
