LYRICS:
I'm stomping through the shadows
Crashing through the shallow
Screaming like an arrow
You are counting up excuses
And don't like what my truth is
Or how I use it

But I'd go door to door
to find what I believe in
I'd keep searching
to show you that I mean it
Flying or crawling
, climbing from the ashes
But I'll keep walking, no matter what the path is

Set foot at the pinnacle
Feeling indestructible
I stand in the middle of everything
Soak it all in as if I were invincible
I can do anything
You know I've been practicing
I'm ready for faltering, stumbling
Trying again and keeping it visible

I got my magical, magical thinking


You tell me that it's uphill
But you can't keep my heart still
Don't care if the blood spills
I just want to pay my dues
I don't care about the bruises

But I'd search across the earth
to find what I believe in
I'd keep hunting to show you that I mean it
Flying or falling,
I'll be brushing off the ashes
I'll keep walking
, no matter what the path is


Set foot at the pinnacle
Feeling indestructible
I stand in the middle of everything
Soak it all in, as if I were invincible
I can do anything
Oh how I've been practicing
I'm ready for faltering, stumbling
Trying again until it is visible

I got my magical, magical thinking


But I'd go door to door
to find what I believe in
I'd keep searching
to show you that I mean it
Flying or falling, I'll be brushing off the ashes
I'll keep walking
, no matter what the path is


Set foot at the pinnacle
Feeling indestructible
I stand in the middle of everything
Soak it all in, as if I were invincible
I can do anything
You know I've been practicing
I'm ready for faltering, stumbling
Trying again, keeping it visible

The pinnacle
Feeling indestructible
I stand in the middle of everything
Soak it all in, as if I were invincible
I can do anything
You know I've been practicing
I'm ready for faltering, stumbling
Trying again, keeping it visible

I got my magical, magical thinking
