It's the shame, it's the pain

Something I can't explain
It's a noise, it's a voice

And it screams in my brain
It's a curse, and it hurts
But I just keep going

I lean into the storm

It's the way I was born
Cause my fear is a flame

And it can't be ignored
Keeping faith that is blind

Through the tears in my eyes
But I just keep going

I climb Everest
Knowing it's life or death
Oh, and my survival is suicidal
This vicious cycle
Knowing I won't ever rest
Until my dying breath
'Til I have nothing left
Everest

It's the cure, it's a poison

I don't have a choice in
The silent defiance

That I find my voice in
Cause I have decided
To just keep going

It's the rush, it's the feeling

That keeps me believing
That I have the strength

When I don't have a reason
To fight, is my vice

When I don't have the right
To just keep going

I'm counting bodies on the way
Knowing anyone could take my place
Knowing I could give my life for something
And it might all be for nothing

I climb Everest
Knowing it's life or death
Oh, and my survival is suicidal
This vicious cycle
Knowing I won't ever rest
Until my dying breath
'Til I have nothing left
Everest

All my life I've had to fight
And I don't know why I just keep going
But there's a light and I just might
Get that high if I just keep going
All my life I've had to fight
And I don't know why I just keep going
But there's a light and I just might
Get that high if I keep climbing

Everest
Knowing it's life or death
Oh, and my survival is suicidal
This vicious cycle
Knowing I won't ever rest
Until my dying breath
'Til I have nothing left
Everest
I'll die with no regrets
Everest
