Always One More Step

Tasted blood
Thought it meant I'd won
Crowd goes mute
Spotlight weighs a ton
Every scar
Still an open gate
Every breath
Dares me to be great

I claw my name in the concrete
Till my fingers turn to stone
Every time I touch the summit
It just births another throne

There's always one more step
When you think you've slain the peak
One more broken rib
For the strength you say you seek
I'll burn this weakness
Out of my blood, out of my flesh (yeah)
I won't die almost
I was born to be the best

Blackened teeth
From the grit I grind
All my ghosts
Marching in a line
Every loss
Is a sharpened knife
Carving out
A more vicious life

I hear the doubt like a choir
Trying to drag my body down
I turn every cursed whisper
To a war-cry, to a crown

There's always one more step
When you think you've slain the peak
One more shattered dream
Under boots that never sleep
We'll burn this weakness
Out of our blood, out of our flesh (hey)
We won't die almost
We were born to be the best

No surrender in our sequence
No surrender in our veins
We are architects of fury
We are cleansing all these chains
Rip the frail out of our future
Stitch it shut with iron thread
If it kills the fear inside us
Let it bury who we were dead (dead)

There's always one more step
When you think you've slain the peak
One more brutal fall
For the glory that you seek
We'll burn this weakness
Out of our blood, out of our flesh (yeah)
We won't die almost
We were born to be the best
We won't die almost
We were born to be the best
