I want to know what awaits
At the top of the trees
I sit and debate
Is this what I need and is this my fate
I wonder if Im the cause of my fate
Or because of my fate I am always too late
And time is just a moment away
Here for a sec put it down where it lay
Under the ground like a casket we pray
To latch on to seconds like leaches on prey
I cherish the time that I have as a father
And treasure the time that I had as a son
I’m pushing the boundaries that pull me in further
Light up the flame like a burning inferno
Walk up the steps to the tower that’s casting a
Shadow on top of the earth that gives it foundation to stand
I don’t understand
I want to know what I’ll find
If I go in the tower don’t know what’s inside
Trials and levels and stairs with no end
As I get higher the bones it’ll bend
And if I go in there’s no proof I’ll escape
No hall I can turn no place that is safe
And if I prevail will I stand at the top
Flop in the wind a hero and cape
Or will it collapse and fall on my face
Turn my face blue and my bones will break
Crack all my ribs and I'll suffocate
I'm being dramatic I hesitate
Why do I do this I hesitate
Constantly thinking I hesitate
Just go in the tower don't hesitate
Won’t give up persistence won’t hesitate
I’ll knock on the door 'til my knuckles bleed
I’ll rip out the bricks 'til my fingernails leave
I’m going inside don’t let me believe
There’s nothing inside I’ll fall to my feet
This is the moment I’ve feared all my life
What is the worst that could happen if I
Expose what’s inside and the river runs dry
I’ll give you the truth without batting an eye
This is it
I’m right at the door
The rotted wood pieces are left on the floor
Must’ve been others who've clawed at the core
Forever a sign that I’m never alone
What’s that I hear behind the dry stone
It’s calling my name
And letting me in
Like an old friend
I have to go in
Just don’t hesitate
I won’t hesitate
