Bilingual
Static on the radio down in the valley
Voices got heavy, trying to anchor my feet
They said the air gets too thin to sustain me
That gravity wins on a slope this steep
I swallowed the doubt like a bitter pill
Kept my eyes locked on the gray overhead
Left the safety of standing still
For a gamble on something that nobody read
Suddenly the pressure drops
The ceiling breaks apart
(I feel it kicking in)
A flash of blue, a change of heart
Now I'm breathing above the noise
Watching the storm turn into a floor
I found the silence inside the voice
That told me I was meant for more
Yeah, the view is terrifying and gold
Turning the critics into ghosts
I'm standing where the world gets cold
Breathing above the noise
The city is nothing but a circuit board
Blinking in patterns too small to define
I finally cut through the tether and cord
That kept me waiting in the back of the line
Oxygen is sharp, it stings in the chest
But the headache of trying to please them is gone
Put the phantom familiar fears to rest
In the blinding wash of the upper dawn
Suddenly the pressure drops
The ceiling breaks apart
(I feel it kicking in)
A flash of blue, a change of heart
Now I'm breathing above the noise
Watching the storm turn into a floor
I found the silence inside the voice
That told me I was meant for more
Yeah, the view is terrifying and gold
Turning the critics into ghosts
I'm standing where the world gets cold
Breathing above the noise
It's lonely at the jagged edge
(So quiet, so quiet)
No one else standing on this ledge
Success is a freeze-frame, bright and austere
I shouted "I made it"—but I'm the only one here
(The only one here)
Now I'm breathing above the noise
Watching the storm turn into a floor
I found the silence inside the voice
That told me I was meant for more
Yeah, the view is terrifying and gold
Turning the critics into ghosts
I'm standing where the world gets cold
Breathing above the noise
Just me and the sky
