Scaling The Tower

from Surge by Ethan Work

/

lyrics

Verse 1:
Scaling the tower of my own making
A fortress of endless pain
With every breath I take
I know I’ll never look down again
Destination’s high, but so is my ambition
The clouds they all know my name
Live for the thrill, in for the kill, I’m gonna make a
Million dollars today

Chorus:
Superhuman strength, unparalleled fame, I’m an
Overnight millionaire comin’ in hot
The people stare at me from down below
Standin’ ‘round wond’ring if and when I’ll stop
Superhuman strength, unparalleled fame, I’m an
Overnight millionaire comin’ in hot
Tell me a story, and I can tell you six
But none of it comes close to this


Verse 2:
Some say money can’t buy happiness
Well I disagree, because money buys status
Soon the world will finally know
That all of the glory falls on me alone
You think you know me but I guess you don’t
‘cuz if you did you’d know that I will never stop
So if you decided to make a match outta me
Be warned, for I am told that I can’t be beat

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
We’ve come to the end, I never thought I’d get here
I guess a good thing just cannot last
My body is shot, and my mind is in knots
But in the end I made it to the top of the mast
What’s that I hear? Is that a snapping sound?
I feel my body inching downward
Sure enough, my mortal self has caught up with me
Goodbye cruel world; it’s been a pleasure!

(Chorus)
