final fall

Lyrics

Verse 1
I grew up on the edge
With my back to the floor
Cold nights in the room
And hunger at the door

Mama countin' loose change
Prayin' over rent
I learned how to smile
When the whole week bent

Hands full of scars
Mind full of smoke
I kept draggin' pain
Like a chain on a boat

Every loss I took
Turned into my drive
If I had to crawl
I was still gon' strive

Pre-Chorus
I climbed through the ash
With my teeth in the wire
I bled for the road
And I kept goin' higher

But what is the crown
If it falls to the grave?
What is the win
If the end ain't saved?

Chorus
I made it out
Just to face the ground
I made it out
Hear that hollow sound

All that fight
For a final fall
I made it out
But I lost it all

Verse 2
Paper thin hope
In a busted down hall
I seen my own face
In a cracked restroom wall

Said, "Keep movin' on"
When the world said "quit"
Still I bit my tongue
And I ripped through it

Took the shame on my name
Made a flame from the pain
Every step in the mud
Was a step through the rain

Now the door is open
But the room feels cold
How you build a kingdom
If you never get old?

Pre-Chorus
I climbed through the ash
With my teeth in the wire
I bled for the road
And I kept goin' higher

But what is the crown
If it falls to the grave?
What is the win
If the end ain't saved?

Chorus
I made it out
Just to face the ground
I made it out
Hear that hollow sound

All that fight
For a final fall
I made it out
But I lost it all

Bridge
If I die tonight
Tell 'em I tried
Tell my little ones
I never laid down

From a house of hurt
To a name on a wall
I won the war
But I still might fall

Breakdown
No more chains
No more lies
One more breath
Then I close my eyes

Final Chorus
I made it out
Just to face the ground
I made it out
Hear that hollow sound

All that fight
For a final fall
I made it out
But I lost it all

I made it out
Still I hear that call
I made it out
But I lost it all
