Quarter to four and the screen still glows
Empty cans on the desk yeah the grind don't slow
Told myself I'd rest but the rent says no
Same hoodie three days gotta chase this road
Pressure got my chest tight but I breathe through it
Cracked phone screen swiping past who I used to be
Mom called twice I let it ring guilt hits deep
But silence now is louder than words could speak
Got a notebook filled with plans I ain't lived yet
Every scuffed-up page feels like unpaid debt
Some nights I wonder if the climb makes sense
Then I lace up tighter and I take the next step
Weight stacks up
Can't look down now
Wind cuts rough
But I know how
I keep climbing though the cold won't break
Every piece of me is stitched with every mistake
Through the hollow nights when faith wears thin
I'm still reaching for the air I haven't breathed in
And the world spins fast but I'm still here standing
On a fractured ground that I keep on mending
Tell my fears they don't get to write my ending
Tell my fears they don't get to write my ending
Same four walls but the vision got wider
Second hand won't quit yeah the clock's a liar
Spilled cold brew on the notes from December
But the stain on the ink made the words feel truer
Used to chase applause now I chase the quiet
Found my pulse in the space where the noise goes silent
Every closed door taught me how to pry it
Now I build my own frames so I can't be confined in
Six missed texts from friends I keep avoiding
But my mind's in the deep end I can't fake enjoying
Small talk feels heavy when you're holding planets
So I push alone till the weight gets balanced
Counting days like loose change in my pocket
Found a spark in the dark and I didn't block it
Lost some people who swore they'd never walk away
But the space they left gave me room to finally say
Can't look down now
Wind cuts rough
But I know how
I keep climbing though the cold won't break
Every piece of me is stitched with every mistake
Through the hollow nights when faith wears thin
I'm still reaching for the air I haven't breathed in
And the world spins fast but I'm still here standing
On a fractured ground that I keep on mending
Tell my fears they don't get to write my ending
Tell my fears they don't get to write my ending
Same four walls but the vision got wider
Through the hollow nights when faith wears thin
I'm still reaching for the air I haven't breathed in
I keep climbing though the cold won't break
Every piece of me is stitched with every mistake
Through the hollow nights when faith wears thin
I'm still reaching for the air I haven't breathed in
And the world spins fast but I'm still here standing
On a fractured ground that I keep on mending
Tell my fears they don't get to write my ending
Tell my fears they don't get to write my ending
And the world spins fast but I'm still here standing
