lyrics

We’re all ascending a mountain that we’ve made in our minds.
We think obsessively about our mountains all of the time.
You’ve got yours,
and I’ve got mine,
but to reach either peak, we must help each other climb.

No one’s gonna do it for you,
there are no stepping stones,
‘cause at the core we’re all alone.
I’m sick of hopeless remarks from everybody I know,
they say there is no peak,
there is no pot of gold.

Now I’m on the shore of the largest lake
and I’m dying of thirst no matter how much I take.
But my will is strong
metamorphic rock,
you can knock me down
but you won’t see me break.
You won’t see me break.

I could bow to myself
and drive all my friends away,
‘cause almost every day
my mountain begs me to break
but I stare it back in the face
and I speak the following phrase:

Oh, my past accomplishments don’t make me great,
it’s how I conduct myself face-to-face.
I’ll be remembered more for my mistakes.
I’ll shatter vanity.
I will not break.

Though I’ve learned to scale all types of social terrain,
for every friendship I forge, I leave one in my wake.
But my will is strong
metamorphic rock,
you can knock me down
but you won’t see me break.
You won’t see me break.
