Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Grit in my teeth Blood on the grip Counting the scars Like a victory list Breath in my throat Hand on the flame Laugh while it burns Just to feel my name [Chorus] One step closer to heaven On a ledge I built myself I keep running on the edges Daring you to let me fall If I break If I break I’ll break straight through the wall One step closer to heaven Or nothing at all [Verse 2] Sleep in my shoes Heart in a choke Praying for rest Then I sharpen the hope Lines in the sand I cross ‘til they blur Every “you can’t” Is the fuel that I burn [Chorus] One step closer to heaven On a ledge I built myself I keep running on the edges Daring you to let me fall If I break If I break I’ll break straight through the wall One step closer to heaven Or nothing at all [Bridge] [Beat drops to drums and low guitar] I’m so tired of the almost I’m so tired of the safe If this is what it takes to rise Then bury me in faith [Breakdown] [Halftime groove Huge claps enter] Clap Clap Hands to the ceiling Heartbeats kicking like a choir drum Hallelujah in the static of my breathing (hallelujah) I was dead on my feet Now I’m coming undone Clap Clap Raise up the wreckage Turn my panic into praise Hallelujah Every scar is a message (hallelujah) I was lost in the dark Now I’m lit like a blaze [Final Chorus] One step closer to heaven With my fists raised in the fire Every fall Every fracture Screams me higher Higher Higher If I break If I break I’ll break straight through the wall One step closer to heaven Or nothing Nothing at all (hallelujah)

Verses race over palm-muted guitars and punchy bass; chorus explodes with wide open chords and high, strained male vocals. Breakdown flips into a revival: big gospel claps, call-and-response “hallelujah” echoes, and a choir stack over a crushing halftime groove before a final all-in outro., gospel, emo, frantic
