The Only Way is Up

Velvet sky, painted grey
City sleeps, but I’m awake
Ashes fall like quiet rain
And I’m still running through the flame

Lights below me flicker, fade
I close my eyes, I’m not afraid
Every shadow whispers, stay
But something in me drifts away

The only way is up
Above the smoke, above the flood
I see the stars begin to blush
The only way is up
Oh, I can feel the weight of dust
But I keep rising, rising, love
The only way is up

Broken glass beneath my feet
I feel the pulse of empty streets
Someone sings beyond the heat
A melody that feels like me

Your voice echoes soft and clear
Through the static in my ear
Telling me to disappear
But I’m already halfway here

The only way is up
Above the fire, above the rush
I see the moon begin to hush
The only way is up
Oh, through the haze and through the hush

In a city swallowed by ashes… She rises from the ruins, broken glass trembling beneath his feet. The sky splits into a grey-blue seam, and a faint light breathes quietly behind the smoke. But above all silence… a voice calls to him, calls to her, pulls him forward, pushes her on, until she understands: When the world collapses, when nothing remains but shadows, there is only one direction left to go. The only way is up !

Lyrics:
I keep ascending through the crush
The only way is up

In the silence
I can hear
All the sirens
Disappear
In the quiet
I’m still here
Floating higher
Crystal clear

The only way is up
Above the pain, above the hush
I see tomorrow in the dusk
The only way is up
Oh, through the smoke and through the flood
I keep rising, rising, love

The only way is up
Velvet sky, breaking blue
I keep rising…
back to you
