Anval - The Climb Lyrics

Detox day one thought I was dying
Didn't know climbing out would hurt worse than the fall
First night in detox body shaking like hell
Sweat soaking the sheets man I couldn't even yell
Head spinning heart racing felt my skin peel back
Like my demons clawed inside tryna launch an attack
Couldn't sleep couldn't eat just curled in the bed
Hearing voices in my head seeing faces of the dead
Doctors gave me meds but the pain cut through
Thought I'd never make it out thought I'd never push through
It's a climb every step feels like fire
But you're stronger than the chains of desire
Through the darkness there's light you can't see
Keep climbing even when you can't breathe
Graduated detox but the climb got steep
Checked into TTC felt the silence creep
COVID shut the world down classes all closed
Just me and my thoughts man that's a heavy load
Met faces just as lost addicts tryna find peace
Some left halfway through couldn't tame the beast
Started therapy unpacking pain I buried deep
Trazodone for the nights Lexapro for the grief
Vivitrol shots to curb the craving's bite
Still felt the pull still battled every night
But every morning sober felt like a win
Slowly learning how to let the healing begin
It's a climb every step feels like fire
But you're stronger than the chains of desire
Through the darkness there's light you can't see
Keep climbing even when you can't breathe
Two months inside but I felt something shift
Pain still lingered but I learned to lift
Met people who showed me I wasn't alone
Different paths same scars carved in bone
Therapist helped me face my dad's last days
My brother's death all the guilt I replayed
Sobriety ain't easy but neither was the fall
Now I'm standing taller answering the call
No crutch in my hand just a mic and a plan
Turning my story into strength I finally understand
The climb ain't over but I'm further than I've been
And for the first time in years I'm learning how to win
It's a climb every step feels like fire
But you're stronger than the chains of desire
Through the darkness there's light you can't see
Keep climbing 'cause now you can breathe
The fall didn't define me
The climb does
