Lyrics

[Intro]
I kept a lantern facing west, the glass gone cold
Watching the horizon where no dust rose

[Verse 1]
Hill under my feet, all signal, no reply
I stacked my hopes like stones, high and dry
Kept whispering “hold” till the echo wore out
Sky held its breath, and the silence got loud

[Build]

[Chorus]
I won't wait on that hill for a name in the shout
No cavalry — so I became my own way out
A hand reached down — and it was mine, no doubt
No cavalry — so I became my own way out

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Knuckles raw, I braided fear into a rope
Teeth on the wind, I hauled my own hope
Dirt in my lungs, but the ground knew my name
No riders came — so I became the flame

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I don't wait on hills; I build the road right now
No cavalry — so I became my own way out
The hand I needed was the hand I found
No cavalry — so I became my own way out
I’m the rider and the thunder in the sound
No cavalry — so I became my own way out

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Empty horizon still, but I’m not empty too
I carry my answer in the work my hands can do

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
No cavalry — so I became my own way out
I don’t wait on that hill — I am the way out
