Scaling the mountain, I have given up my pride
And I'm clinging to this rocky edge, a rose thorn in my side
It's fabled contradiction, is bitter sweet and blind
And I'm balancing the mountain of compromise
I went over the hill to be with you
I went over the hill
I am over the hill to be with you
Am I holding onto lies or holding onto life?
Standing in petition objectivity goes by
Cause it's hard to ignore losing when you're winning all the time
And the weight of this too heavy, the ceiling far too low
This commitment is restraining and I can't grow
I went over the hill
Over the hill
I am over the hill to be with you
Am I holding on to life or holding onto lies?
In retrospect in your absence my disposition's gone
As I close my eyes to searching, treasuring what I once lost
I let go of the noose and breath again
I am falling from the game and landing afoot
