Knees deep in the black dirt packed beneath my nails
Spine cracked on the slope but I aint built for rails
Every damn step burns like crawlin through the coals
But the ridge dont care it only wants whole souls
Aint no hand reachin down so Ill claw my own way up
One more bloody yard I aint had nearly enough
Crawl to the ridge let the mud have my skin
Crawl to the ridge
Break every bone Ill just build back again
Build back again
The top dont want the clean it wants the scarred and mean
Crawl to the ridge I was born for the climb
Folks said quit at the base said the peak aint worth the pain
But Ive tasted rock bottom and its blander than rain
Scars map every fall like a road Ive drawn in red
Aint no grave gonna hold me when the ridge fills my head
The dark can keep its comfort Ill take the bleeding light
One more step toward the edge and Ill own the damn height
Crawl to the ridge let the mud have my skin
Crawl to the ridge
Break every bone Ill just build back again
Build back again
The top dont want the clean it wants the scarred and mean
Crawl to the ridge I was born for the climb
Crawl to the ridge let the mud have my skin
Crawl to the ridge
Break every bone Ill just build back again
Build back again
The top dont want the clean it wants the scarred and mean
Crawl to the ridge I was born for the climb
Still crawlin still bleedin still mine
