[Intro]
Tiny teeth
Big talk
You scratch
I rock
[Verse 1]
You bare those broken little fangs at my throne
Dragging shadows like a cape made of smoke
You think your echo shakes the skin from my bones
I barely notice when you choke
Claw at the cracks like you’ll swallow the peak
Throwing pebbles at a sleeping colossus
You call it war
I call it your busy week
You call it fate
I call it your losses
[Pre-Chorus]
You climb my side
Like a child on a giant
You call me cruel
But you made this defiant
[Chorus]
What is a mouse to a mountain?
Screaming up at the stone
You rise on a whispering fountain
I answer in thunder alone
Run in your circles around me
Bite at a kingdom of bone
What is a mouse to a mountain?
I’ll crush you beneath my stone (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You light your candles like you’re summoning storms
Chanting curses you can barely pronounce
You dress in armor made of paper and thorns
Every step
Another ounce
You paint a target on a face made of rock
You throw your weight like it could tilt all the earth
You mark the seconds like a ticking old clock
I mark the fault lines under dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
You call me down
From a sky you can’t handle
You start a fire
In a world made of granite
[Chorus]
What is a mouse to a mountain?
Screaming up at the stone
You rise on a whispering fountain
I answer in thunder alone
Run in your circles around me
Bite at a kingdom of bone
What is a mouse to a mountain?
I’ll crush you beneath my stone
[Bridge]
[Guitar solo: shrieking harmonics trading with operatic vocal runs]
Sing your ache into the avalanche (avalanche)
Let your fear become a hymn you can’t outrun
Every squeal another small collapse
Every step another ton
Kneel at the edge of the open sky
Feel how the ground starts to groan
You begged the peak just to hear it reply
Now hear the breaking of the stone (hey!)
[Chorus]
What is a mouse to a mountain?
Screaming up at the stone
You rise on a whispering fountain
I answer in thunder alone
Run in your circles around me
Bite at a kingdom of bone
What is a mouse to a mountain?
I’ll crush you beneath my stone
(I’ll crush you, I’ll crush you)
[Outro]
Tiny teeth
Big fall
You vanish
I stand tall
