Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
It's the shame, it's the pain, something I can't explain
It's a noise, it's a voice, and it screams in my brain
It's a curse and it hurts, but I just keep goin'
I lean into the storm, it's the way I was born
'Cause my fear is a flame and it can't be ignored
Keeping faith that is blind through the tears in my eyes
But I just keep goin'
[Chorus]
I climb Everest
Knowing it's life or death
Oh, and my survival is suicidal
This vicious cycle
Knowing I won't ever rest
Until my dying breath
Till I have nothing left
Everest
[Verse 2]
It's the cure, it's a poison, I don't have a choice in
The silent defiance that I find my voice in
'Cause I have decided to just keep goin'
It's the rush, it's the feelin' that keeps me believin'
That I have the strength when I don't have a reason
To fight is my vice when I don't have the right
To just keep goin'
[PreChorus]
I'm counting bodies on the way
Knowing any one could take my place
Knowing I could give my life for something
And it might all be for nothing
[Chorus]
I climb Everest
Knowing it's life or death
Oh, and my survival is suicidal
This vicious cycle
Knowing I won't ever rest
Until my dying breath
Till I have nothing left
Oh, Everest
[Bridge]
All my life I've had to fight and
Don't know why I just keep goin'
There's a light and I just might
Get that high if I just keep going
All my life I've had to fight and
Don't know why I just keep movin'
There's a light and I just might
Get that high if I keep climbing
[Chorus]
Everest
Knowing it's life or death
Oh, and my survival is suicidal
This vicious cycle
Knowing I won't ever rest
Until my dying breath
Till I have nothing left
Oh, Everest
[Outro]
I'll die with no regrets
Everest
Ah
