Notch Before the Buzzer

[Intro] [Instrumental: one-bar whammy dive-bomb, then rapid riff] [Verse 1] Chalk dust cuts a white line through the air Route judge calls the color; i am there Left toe smears, the red hold turns beneath Timer digits chew the seconds with their teeth [Chorus] Fingertips—lock in, don't let go! One last move before the buzzer blows! Palm slips free, but the edge bites back Haul me up—i'm still on track! [Verse 2] Right hand snaps; my shoulder takes the swing Crowd turns to a blur around the ring One finger catches, skin against the stone I find the next hold—climb it on my own [Chorus] Fingertips—lock in, don't let go! One last move before the buzzer blows! Palm slips free, but the edge bites back Haul me up—i'm still on track! [Guitar solo] [Instrumental: frantic solo with whammy dives and squealing pinch harmonics] [Bridge] Three! my forearm burns! Two! the red light turns! One! reach— [Chorus] Fingertips—lock in, don't let go! One last move before the buzzer blows! Palm slips free, but the edge bites back Haul me up—i'm still on track! [Outro] [Instrumental: final chugging riff, dive-bomb cutoff]
