Lyrics
How low would you go?
For a shimmer of hope?
How high can you get? Aye!
How far will you fall?
When the top is so close,
Victory on the tips of your lips and
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
How you feeling?
When you at the bottom of the bottle what you revealing?
What you swallowed, did it hollow your spirit?
Did it gobble the image of peace of mind in your mind or did it
Coddle the bottomless pit of feeling's you've hidden
Was you scaaaared? When you ran from it was it reeeeal?
Or did it bring you a revelation of dangers prepared?
Did it bring your attention to things you would never mention or did it
Put you into position to be more defensive?
Can you hear it? The screams from the souls of piltover
Dream chasers who's goals were bulldozered
Every day the course just gets colder...
Enforcers they just call it quota
How low would you go?
For a shimmer of hope?
How high can you get? Aye!
How far will you fall?
When the top is so close,
Victory on the tips of your lips and
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
Is that power? If you choose to use it are you alpha?
And if you choose to deny it will you die as a coward?
Question... Are you using it or is it using you?
Should vermin determine what you really could or couldn't do?
Were you proud? When you got revenge, was it wild
Or did it bring you some peace did it clear up the mental clouds?
What's the cost of living, when living large is forbidden
And minimizing to survive is the only way to fit in?
And is... fitting in really a solid way to move?
If you know that standing out is the equivalent to doom
Do you really have a choice, can you live with what you choose
Is the conquest for power for fools?
How low would you go?
For a shimmer of hope?
How high can you get? Aye!
How far will you fall?
When the top is so close,
Victory on the tips of your lips and
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
How low would you go?
For a shimmer of hope?
How high can you get? Aye!
How far will you fall?
When the top is so close,
Victory on the tips of your lips and
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
This little light I would grind for it. Grind for it!
This little light would die for it! Die for it!!
