Mountaineer

I've been on this trail for days
And once again it starts to rain
And I'm just trying to find my way
But the water's distorting my gaze
I've been on this trail for days
And once again it starts to rain
And I know that I can't stop
Finding my way up to the top

I can't see anything from this distance
My eyes are shutting me off from existence
And I think that
My very own experience of insisting persistence
Made me
Forget my water
But the path only gets longer
So I walk along these trees
These trees I can see grow taller
But I can feel me getting nearer
And I can feel me getting weaker
And if my brain is like a lightbulb
I can feel is start to flicker
But I'm too close now
Just to turn around
So I'll just tread on
Through the night and dawn
So I can see the top,
But I don't need to be on top
I just want a view

I'm climbing up a mountain, I won't ever stop
And I just wanna finally reach the top, yeah
I'm climbing up a mountain, I won't ever stop
And I just wanna finally reach the top, yeah

I've been on this trail for days
And once again it starts to rain
And I'm just trying to find my way
But the water's distorting my gaze
I've been on this trail for days
And once again it starts to rain
And I know that I can't stop
Finding my way up to the top

I still can't see from where I am
And I still can't see that far in this land
All I do is get re-routed, get re-routed
And I don't know what to do about it
I'm in an undisclosed location
In a distant destination
Another menial fascination,
With my distorted imagination,
I can't see through my "impatient mind"
So I don't if it's really mine
Don't know if I'll reach the end,
Or if I'll be able to send
The message that I write:
I don't know if I'll sleep tonight
Just know that I,
I'll make it

I'm climbing up a mountain, I won't ever stop
And I just wanna finally reach the top, yeah
I'm climbing up a mountain, I won't ever stop
And I just wanna finally reach the top, yeah
