Hellevator

My life’s at the bottom, on the edge
I’m walking through a dark tunnel
Facing a cruel and scary day
I’m holding on all alone

In the unfamiliar hallway of a fading classroom, it’s a tough road
There’s no way out
I don’t even have a map to answer
If I’m on the right path
The way up is a maze I never want to go back through
It’s a frustrating labyrinth
Instead of tears of blood, I’m comforting myself with blood and sweat

People tell me it’s just a passing storm
That I can get through this
To catch success, even if I’m scared
I have to set the trap of failure
Yeah, I’m biting down on the bait of pain
Wandering around, folding my tired wings
Just for a moment

My life’s at the bottom, on the edge
I’m walking through a dark tunnel
Facing a cruel and scary day
I’m holding on all alone

Even when I reach out my hand
There’s no one to hold me
My pain, my tears are slipping away
I’m trying to escape

I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator

There’s nothing here
No one to reach out for me, just cold words
Put those ridiculous dreams aside
The words of giving up hit my ears
And despair just keeps growing
Hope is blocked by the hands of those around me

I’m holding on, praying to be saved
Under the stares that burn me
They say I’m losing my mind, even if I do well
I’ll just be someone’s clown
Forget about being a singer
Hearing that makes me weaker
I push myself even harder

My life’s at the bottom, on the edge
I’m walking through a dark tunnel
Facing a cruel and scary day
I’m holding on all alone

Even when I reach out my hand
There’s no one to hold me
My pain, my tears are slipping away
I’m trying to escape

I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator

Where’s the exit I need to find?
Pull me out from the darkness I’m trapped in
Fight a little harder, run away from here
I’m on the hellevator, I’m going up
Escaping my dark past
Shining a light on my pitch-black future
Forgetting the time that feels like it’ll drive me crazy
I’m running down this path
As the bell of a new beginning rings out
I’ve jumped on, holding my hand
My hellevator will take me to the penthouse, ah

I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator.
