Lyrics
[Verse 1] Floating through the coral gardens deep
Marine spirits dance while mortals sleep
Azure currents pull me far below
In this liquid world time moves slow
[Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Post-Chorus] (Never the same)
(Never the same)
[Verse 2] Soaring past the clouds in endless flight
Mountain summits pierce the fading light
Atmosphere dissolves into void
Reality and dreams destroyed
[Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Post-Chorus] (Never the same)
(Never the same)
[Bridge] (Far below far above)
(Where do we belong)
(Far below far above)
(Which way is home)
[Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Pressure changes bend the mind and soul
Neither high nor low can make us whole
Suspended in the space between the two
Where water meets the morning
[Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Post-Chorus] (Never the same)
(Never the same)
[Outro] Diving deep then climbing to the stars
Ocean depths to cosmic heights afar
Merging realms of water sky and space
Time dissolves without a single trace
[Final Bridge] (Waves of sound waves of light)
(Crossing planes of day and night)
(Waves of sound waves of light)
(Everything in endless flight)
[Last Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Final Outro] Consciousness expands through liquid air
Forms dissolve beyond what we can bear
Ancient wisdom flows through space and time
As below so far above we climb
[Heavy Riff Intro] [Verse 4] Dragged across the threshold once again
Salt and stone collide inside my skin
Every breath a battle I can't win
Torn between the currents and the wind
[Pre-Chorus] I feel it pull
I feel it tear
No air to breathe
No ground to share
[Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Post-Chorus] (Never the same)
(Never the same)
(Never the same)
(Rise)
[Verse 5] Gravity betrays me when I climb
Pressure crushes everything in time
Something in the silence starts to grind
A war between the body and the mind
[Pre-Chorus] It pulls me down
It drags me high
No place to land
No reason why
[Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Post-Chorus] (Never the same)
(Never the same)
(Never the same)
(Rise)
[Breakdown] (Drown)
(Climb)
(Drown)
(Climb)
[Guitar Solo] [Bridge] (Far below far above)
(Nothing left to hold)
(Far below far above)
(Watch the story fold)
(Far below far above)
(Nowhere left to run)
(Far below far above)
(Until the two are one)
[Verse 6] Every wave I break against the shore
Leaves me wanting something even more
Mountain shadows swallow what I know
Still I rise and still I let it go
[Chorus] Rising up beyond the surface line
Breaking through to worlds that intertwine
Drifting between peaks and ocean floor
Never quite the same as once before
[Post-Chorus] (Never the same)
(Never the same)
(Never the same)
(Rise)
[Final Outro] Let the depths and heights divide no more
Let the silence settle in the core
Every boundary broken by the fall
One horizon rising over all
Rising over all
(Rising over all)
