don t wait for rivers to flood just to keep you afloat don t wait for mountains to fall just to get across and i ve never seen lights quite like these glowing and bursting for me and times never ceased or stopped for me but suddenly i control all i see when did these faces need me to be everything i could be when did these words breathe life into the deceased don t wait for rivers to flood just to keep you afloat don t wait for mountains to fall just to get across any path that you take that you didn t pave is the wrong one and anybody who waits in the rain will drown in the flood and anybody who makes the climb knows the view is worth the time bbut the battle of if i ll ever get there is the problem how much can i take til i call it quits how long can my legs keep running like this until they give in until my liver gives up my lungs are blackened but that s how i like them i m pushing the limits until they push me back i m on the edge of the mountain calculating the gap between a rock and a hard place a palace and a pit but i remember death never lies to the people who live
