about

So high to climb
So empty at the top
So bitter is the sting

lyrics

how far am i to walk to reach the sun?
how high am i to climb to kiss the apex?
how hard am i to labor to break the mold?
how long until blood washes it all away?

there is no eternal return
the only way onwards is upwards
i have lost the steps left behind
will i ever touch the ground again?

so empty up here
it has come to this
atop this gracious high
there is nothing for me to revel

no greater sting to the self than nothing
how long am i to endure until blood washes it all away?
