lyrics

[Soft Hook]

And you ain't got to ask
You ain't got to ask
You ain't got to ask

The reason I'm fighting
The reason I'm fighting
Has always been for you

It's simple and plain
It's simple and plain
It's basic how I feel

That I would climb towers
And murder these cowards for you

(That I would climb towers
And murder these cowards for you)

[Break]

[Verse One]

I ain't no killer but this pressure
My teeth are bitter but God bless ya
You kill accounts of my life story
That weight'll weigh a thousand ledgers
You live your life within those margins
You try and write me off these cliffs
I feel you mapping out my edges
You battling to sink my ships
But...
But my sails are soaring higher now upon a broken mass
And tattered tapestry
And you mark my words but mark adverbs
I learned to swim and I will not drown quietly

[Chorus]

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Who saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Where the waves are pressed on me

And the pressure gets higher, higher higher
The threshold gets higher, higher, higher
When pressure gets higher, higher, higher
The threshold gets higher, higher, higher
