Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White knuckles on the edge
Teeth grit through the static in my head
Every scar
Every dare
Every near miss
Screaming
“Is this all there is?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart racing like it wants out my chest
Fear’s talking but I won’t flinch
If the sky won’t split when I shout
I’ll climb higher till it gives
[Chorus]
One step closer to heaven
When my boots kick dust from the ledge
Every breath
Every second
Is a match held close to the edge
If I burn
I burn ascended
Turn the fall into a blessing
One step closer to heaven
With the ground just a rumor beneath me
[Verse 2]
Glass shards in the path I chose
Bare soles
But I won’t walk slow
Every “stop” that they carve in stone
I grind down till it’s gravel and smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been begging for a sign in the dark
Got silence and the sound of my blood
So I carved my prayers into steel
And I swing them through the flood
[Chorus]
One step closer to heaven
When my boots kick dust from the ledge
Every breath
Every second
Is a match held close to the edge
If I burn
I burn ascended
Turn the fall into a blessing
One step closer to heaven
With the ground just a rumor beneath me
[Bridge]
[Music drops to drums and claps
Voices rising]
Clap
Clap
Hands up high
(hey!)
Hear the chains drop
Hear the doubt die
Clap
Clap
Stomp that grave
We were born to misbehave
Hallelujah in the crossfire
(hallelujah!)
Hallelujah in the smoke
(hallelujah!)
If this is hell at the wire
Then watch me turn it to a throne
Hallelujah when I’m gasping
Hallelujah when I choke
Hallelujah in the breakdown
I am not
I am not alone
[Breakdown]
[Riffs slam in
Crowd shouts]
One step closer! (hallelujah)
One step closer! (hallelujah)
One step closer! (hallelujah)
I’m still here
I’m still here
[Chorus]
One step closer to heaven
When my boots kick dust from the ledge
Every breath
Every second
Is a match held close to the edge
If I burn
I burn ascended
Turn the fall into a blessing
One step closer to heaven
With the ground just a rumor beneath me
[Outro]
Clap
Clap
Sing it loud
(hallelujah)
I was lost
I am found
(hallelujah)
If this blood
If this sweat is the price
I’ll keep climbing till the sky cracks twice
