Altitude Sickness - Aviana

I find myself, again with empty hands and an empty heart

It’s always there

Even if I close my eyes, it lives in my mind

Where do I put my trust when it seems this battle has no end?

If these walls could speak they’d tell me fear isn’t real

One of many sentiments I can’t feel

The path is blocked

By mountains as far as eyes can see

Take farewell of how it used to be

The path is blocked

Trying to find your place along the climb

Reach the summit above the clouds

I persist.

Knowing I’m breathing but there’s no air

High above burns identity, it breathes without oxygen

All it takes is to step outside, another page for every step I take

But it’s written in a language that I can’t read

That I don’t understand

That I don’t understand

The path is blocked

By mountains as far as eyes can see

Take farewell of how it used to be

The path is blocked

Trying to find your place along the climb

Reach the summit above the clouds

I persist.

Knowing I’m breathing but there’s no air

High above burns identity, it breathes without oxygen

I’ll put my trust in myself

I’ll put my trust in myself
