Full Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold concrete pressing hard against my face
Waking up detached in a vertical space
Dawn is breaking red over towers of stone
Abducted in the dark, now I’m standing alone
On the roof of the world, at the edge of the sky
With no memory of how, and no answer to why

[Pre-Chorus ]
The air is getting thin, the vertigo climbs
A shadow starts to form from the wreckage of times

[Chorus]
Step to the edge, look at the fall!
The shadows are heavy, they’re tearing the wall!
Is this the end of the road that I pave?
Standing on the brink of a sky-high grave
The gravity pulls, the sanity breaks
Look at the structural damage it makes!

[Verse 2]
The sun hits the noon, and the entity speaks
Feeding on the parts where the memory leaks
It flashes my sins like a horror film screen
Every twisted mistake that the darkness has seen
Whispering the names of the people I hurt
Telling me my legacy is buried in dirt

[Verse 3]
“They hate you,” it screams, “you’re a burden to all!
A shadow of grief walking down through the hall!
They’ll breathe easier when you dissolve in the air
Nobody is looking, and nobody will care
Just step off the brink before sundown arrives
Give me your soul and untie their lives!”

[Chorus]
Step to the edge, look at the fall!
The shadows are heavy, they’re tearing the wall!
Is this the end of the road that I pave?
Standing on the brink of a sky-high grave
The gravity pulls, the sanity breaks
Look at the structural damage it makes!

[Verse 4]
The afternoon fades, and I nod my head slow
I look at the demon and I put on a show
I say, “You might be right, I’m exhausted and done
I’m ready to quit at the set of the sun
But if I’m gonna jump for eternity’s blame
Materialize my trauma, give it flesh, give it name
Let me see all my problems standing real in the light
Before I surrender my soul to the night”

[Verse 5]
The entity laughs as the trap is complete
It condenses the pain into form at my feet
A real flesh-and-blood monster, the weight of my past
The demon stands back, thinking this is my last
I walk to the ledge, looking down at the street
I close both my eyes... I balance my feet...
It looks like I’m giving up... ready to slide...

[Breakdown Bridge]
YOU THOUGHT I WAS STEPPING OFF?!
YOU THOUGHT I WOULD KNEEL?!
I BAITED THE TRAP JUST TO MAKE MY DESTINY REAL!
GRAB THE THROAT!
TURN THE TIDE!
PUSH IT OVER THE EDGE!
WATCH IT FALL!

[Chorus]
I stepped to the edge, but you took the fall!
Your illusions are shattered, I’m tearing the wall!
This isn’t the end of the road that I pave
I left all my demons inside of that grave!
The gravity fails and the shackles collapse
As the final thread of your stranglehold snaps!

[Outro]
Enjoy the drop. I’m keeping my soul.
