A Mountain To Nothing

Almost there

You see the summit

With both hands

Reach out and touch but

Watch your step

It looks so easy

One false move

You're tumbling downwards

Rising star

Chosen one

Promised all

It seems you were bluffing

Crashed and burned

No return

You'll never learn

We thought you were something

All your plans

All your dreams

All your goals

Add up to nothing

Hardest climb

Shortest fall

Ended all

A mountain to nothing

No contest

You're bound for glory

Effortless

The same old story

Arrogance

The chink in your armour

Ego bruised

You fell at the last

Rising star

Chosen one

Promised all

It seems you were bluffing

Crashed and burned

No return

You'll never learn

We thought you were something

All your plans

All your dreams

All your goals

Add up to nothing

Hardest climb

Shortest fall

Ended all

A mountain to nothing

We hold the power

We set the bar

So high that you can never reach it

Blow up your hopes

Holding a pin

Daring you to fly

Shaking your hand

We secretly plan

To trip you up and stick the boot in

Building you up

Tearing you down

Cause you don't belong

Where gods reside

Rising star

Chosen one

Promised all

It seems you were bluffing

Crashed and burned

No return

You'll never learn

We thought you were something

All your plans

All your dreams

All your goals

Add up to nothing

Hardest climb

Shortest fall

Ended all

A mountain to nothing
