lirik lagu nickwuh - my everest
[intro: thms. & all]
i’m ripping my heart out
just hold it close to your ears, hear the beat of the drum
it’s broken and calloused
but why would you care, no why
are you running away from the things that you say
why are you running away from the things that you say
why are you running away from the things that you say
why are you running away
[verse 1: nickwuh & jason solo]
noises, headset
lights and soundcheck
chords and voices
line the soundtrack
something in the way i hear your voice with mine
3am, and i’m exhausted
teary eyes and water droplets
as short~circuited synapses re~harmonize
a love~letter you’ll never read
writing away the deepest insecurities
i swear there’s nothing else that i’d rather be
but every fiber in my fragile body screams, “surrender”
and if i had the option, i’d pick a passion better
hands bound by piano strings
a copper wire noose
still, i’d shut my eyes forever if i couldn’t hear the tune
[chorus: nickwuh]
this is what i have decided
this is what i want my life to mean
i stood in my room
and sang to my screen
and realized
that this is my
[verse 2: lil slav & nickwuh]
i don’t wanna fall for your sweet embrace (my hesitation)
if i can’t make rent, if i can’t make ends meet
(my fear of chasing down what’s right for me)
within the realm of possibility, what a stupid dream
but i still hear the magic between the intervallic frequencies
(is it wrong to follow your calling and end up on the streets?)
it feels like i’ve already won
2, 3
for every doubt that’s floating through the atmosphere
(is it as foolish as it seems if failure’s guaranteed?)
like fireflies drawn to the open flame
i’ll bring the smoke, i’ll sing these notes
(if every song that i don’t write will be the death of me)
until i choke on the blood, sweat, and tears
so i declare
[chorus: lil slav]
that this is what i have decided
this is what i want my life to mean
i stood in my room
and sang to my screen
and realized
that this is my
[bridge: jason solo]
my lifeline, oh
my safest place to hide
the cowardly retreat in view of absolute defeat
a stupid thing to dream for someone seventeen
yet a song that turns out right is still a victory
[chorus: jason solo]
this is what i have decided
this is what i want my life to mean
i stood in my room
and sang to my screen
and realized
that this is my
[post~chorus: izomii]
my everest, my never ending climb
if i don’t get to see the world i’ve pictured countless times
at the point of burnout, can i just leave it all behind?
who would even blame me if it’s my life
like the mountain on my back, my face into the stone
and isn’t music not supposed to happen on your own?
stuck behind these walls, still singing all alone
the day my world is silent, i will go
[outro: nickwuh]
if all i’ve ever known about is the curse of these d~mned keys
then these notes, these scales remain my enemy
