about

RIP Stan "The Man".

lyrics

Take a breath of the unknown
Anticipation of the rush
Ashen thoughts and swirling smoke
Bitter alkaline to choke

Urge to rise above it all
Excelsior my battle cry
Fearless of the coming fall

Driven upward, ever onward

Gravestone walls and growing moss
New growth rooting through my skin
Grinding teeth and racing pulse
Can't stay grounded, I must arise

Urge to rise above it all
Excelsior my battle cry
Fearless of the coming fall

Driven upward, ever onward

Cannot stop my spirit's thrust
Drags me skyward so I climb
Throw the obstacles back to the earth

Driven upward, ever onward
Driven upward, ever onward

Blinding pressure
Bulging eyes in tunnel vision
A rushing roar of noise
Consuming every thought

Take away this gripping need
I beg with bloodied hands
Erase the trail of broken bodies in my wake

A brainstem directive
Imperative to climb above
Smash all the ceilings
My destiny for elevation

Pieces cut out of my mind
Find myself three stories high
Howling winds can't stop me now
Feel so happy I could burst

Urge to rise above it all
Excelsior my battle cry
Splintered fingers, scraping bloody nails

Driven upward, ever onward
Driven upward, ever onward
