Eyes burn staring up at this sky
Envy those birds cause they're flying so high
Built wings, but they never fit right
Searching for an end that's never in sight
Constantly pacing, impatiently waiting
I'm trading and pressing for more
But what am I chasing
And why am I breaking a ceiling that leads to the floor?

The heat, I need it
The fire I built is freezing
These dreams are fleating
There's gotta be a deeper meaning
The higher I climb, the lower I feel
Chasing a light that's never been real
The peak, I see it
I wonder if I'll ever reach it

Too close to the summit I've flown
Never enough is the name of my goals
I tell myself the lie that I can stop whenever I like
But nothing beats that high

The heat, I need it
The fire I built is freezing
These dreams are fleating
There's gotta be a deeper meaning
The higher I climb, the lower I feel
Chasing a light that's never been real
The peak, I see it
I wonder if I'll ever reach it

Chasing a high that's never been real
I wonder if I'll ever reach it

Eyes burn staring up at the sky
Envy those birds cause they're flying so high
Built wings but they never fit right
Searching for an end that's never in sight

The heat, I need it
The fire I built is freezing
These dreams are fleating
There's gotta be a deeper meaning
The higher I climb, the lower I feel
Chasing a light that's never been real
The peak, I see it
I wonder if I'll ever reach it
