All I see, it's not for me.
What I want you have not got.
Tried to use things you sold me no matter what the cost.
Tried to go the way you told me, but each time I got lost.
The stairs didn't lead me anywhere.

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth.
Time to make this climb, to rise

Above this room, and all of you.
Who say I should do like you would.

Tried to live the life you sold me, no matter what the cost.
Tried to walk the way you told me, but each time I got lost.
The stairs didn't lead me anywhere.

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth.
And when I get up that high, I don't know what I'll find,
But I'd rather look at the sky than wonder why I let you take my time.

Time to make this climb, to rise above.
