Even when I feel like dying
Keep climbing the mountain

[Guitar Riff]

[Verse 1]
Dm
Another night I’m barely holding on
Dm                                           F
One step away from being dead and gone

In my life to die another day

Is this life that I’ve been living?

I try to see the light and push the darkness back

So If I’m numb, already too far gone

And If I feel a pulsing, I keep carry on

When I’m lost and want to fade away

I tell myself to live to die another day

Every day I’m just surviving

Keep climbing the mountain

I wake up in the bottom of it all again

I’m still surviving

Keep climbing, keep climbing

The mountain

The mountain.
