Elaine - Summit Game

[Romanization]

We climb with borrowed breath
Hands numb from holding on
Every step is measured
Every name gets worn

The ground is never even
It tilts the higher we go
You learn which lines to follow
And which ones not to know

They say the view is worth it
When you finally arrive
But nobody tells you
What it costs to stay alive

We don't look back
We don't slow down
Every crown is taken
From someone on the ground

If I let you stand
I lose my place
So we smile and keep on climbing
In this summit game

We don't look back
We don't slow down
Every crown is taken
From someone on the ground

If I let you stand
I lose my place
So we smile and keep on climbing
In this summit game

Promises feel lighter
The closer you get up there
We trade them for position
And call it fair

Your footsteps fade behind me
I hear them in my head
We both know what this takes now
Some get lifted, some get left

I don't ask for mercy
You don't ask it too
But nobody tells you
What it costs to stay alive

We don't look back
We don't slow down
Hands are clean
But the truth is loud
I don't hate your face
I just choose my name

We don't look back
We don't slow down
Every crown is taken
From someone on the ground

If I let you stand
I lose my place
So we smile and keep on climbing
In this summit game

Woo woo
