Can't Know - Bolder Lyrics

A boy of just 13
Kept awake by broken dreams
The question won't let him go
It's an answer he'll never know

"The Wager" allays his doubts
He's able to close his eyes
But inside the cancer grows
It's eating him alive

We keep pushing
And pushing
On our way to the top
We get older
But the boulder
Won't ever stop

How do you go on
When your safety net is gone
No gates to ease that fall
One slip and you end it all

How do comprehend
Such a final end
All you do just disappears
A meaningless handful of years

But life continues on
You gotta hide in the back of your mind
Everything will be just fine
Everything will be alright

But I do fear the worst
Cause I know this dam will burst
I don't know if I'll be ready
Gotta hope I'll be ready for this

We keep pushing
And pushing
On our way to the top
We get older
But the boulder
Won't ever stop

Just let me beat this
I can't win
Just let me win
