Scaling the mountain, I have given up my pride
and I`m clinging to this rocky edge, a rose thorn in my side
It`s fabled contradiction,
it`s bitter sweet and blind
And I`m balancing the mountain
of compromise
I went over the hill to be with you
I went over the hill
I am over the hill to be with you
Am I holding on to lies or holding onto life?
Standing in position objectivity goes by
`cause it`s hard to ignore losing when you`re winning all the time
and the weight of this too heavy,
the ceiling far too low
This commitment is restraining
and I can`t grow
I went over the hill,
over the hill
I am over the hill to be with you
Am I holding on to life or holding onto lies?
In retrospect in your absence my disposition`s gone
as I close my eyes to search for treasure in what I once lost
I let go of the noose and breath again
I am falling from the game and mending a foot (?)
