[Verse]
The mountain looms like a heavy stone
Every step feels like I'm walking alone
My feet are tired
My breath is thin
The climb starts over where it should begin
[Prechorus]
I reach for the sky
But it slips away
The peak's so close
Yet it fades to gray
[Chorus]
Why's it so hard
Why's it so steep
The climb cuts deep
The climb cuts deep
I get so close
Then I fall below
The mountain wins
And I let go
[Verse 2]
The air grows colder
The nights grow long
Every stumble whispers I don’t belong
I scream at the silence
It doesn’t reply
The echoes laugh as they kiss the sky
[Chorus]
Why's it so hard
Why's it so steep
The climb cuts deep
The climb cuts deep
I get so close
Then I fall below
The mountain wins
And I let go
[Bridge]
But maybe falling means I’ll learn to fly
Maybe the ground’s just a place to try
Every crack in the rock holds a piece of me
Maybe I’m not climbing
I’m setting me free
