lyrics

Vaults locks and keys
Tumblers click into place
Keeping from sight
Concealed passage ways
Designed to hide
Halls never meant to hold you
If old ways are built in stone never accept them
You only need make your own door

Born minus key streets will lurch in on you
No care for lives changed just to play a tune

But fall right through
And break through the other side
They're waiting for you
To fall right through alive

Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Harder we fall
Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Abandon control
Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Harder we fall
No one can ever take it from you
The very last thing you’ll ever do

But fall right through
And break through the other side
Your bones will tell you, To focus true
One clear thought one clear sight
Recalls the one truth, You’ll need ever know
Don’t worry; just fight

Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Harder to fall
Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Abandon control

Gathering speed
So fast it hurts
So fast the air will burn
One chance to survive
The fall that is coming is falling faster

Fall right through
Break through the other side
They're waiting for you
To fall right through
Breaking through all eye lines
If I can’t even catch myself
How could I catch someone else
If your falling you may as well drop
As hard as you can and laugh till the end
Fall right through
Break through the other side
Then maybe we’ll pretend
We came back again
Or we never even heard left

Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Building a stall
Higher and higher
Climbing their walls
Higher and higher
Abandon control
We’ll know what’s true
When they come and find you
