Level Up

(Intro)

(Electric guitar riff, drums kick in with a heavy bass, steady beat)

Yeah...

Listen to the rhythm of the screen.

Another life, another scene.

Don't you dare close your eyes.

It’s time to rise.

(Verse 1)

Staring at the screen,

yeah the screen is staring back

Dropped another level,

yeah I’m falling off the track

It’s a glitch in the system,

got my heart beating fast

But I know that the pressure is never gonna last

Got to pick up the controller,

take a breath and restart

Yeah, I’m playing with my mind,

but I’m fighting with my heart

Don't be a fool,

gotta keep it in control

It's just a game, man,

it's good for the soul.

(Chorus)

Life is a video game,

you either lose or you win

Pick it back up,

let the journey begin

Keep moving on,

yeah you gotta break through

Never gonna quit,

I’m seeing it through

Sometimes it’s stressful,

I know it feels wrong

But I promise it gets better,

yeah it gets better

(Better, better, better, bet-t-t-t-er)

(Verse 2)

Choosing the mission,

taking the high road

Watching the score,

lighten up the heavy load

Sometimes the boss battle feels like a dead end

But I turn it around,

make a foe into a friend

It's your choice,

you're the player in the chair

Feel the adrenaline,

breathe in the air

Yeah, I could take a break,

let the screen fade to black

But I’m not a quitter,

I’m not turning back.

(Chorus)

Life is a video game,

you either lose or you win

Pick it back up,

let the journey begin

Keep moving on,

yeah you gotta break through

Never gonna quit,

I’m seeing it through

Sometimes it’s stressful,

I know it feels wrong

But I promise it gets better,

yeah it gets better

(Better, better, better, bet-t-t-t-er)

(Bridge)

(Tempo slows slightly, building intensity)

Yeah, I might hit "Pause" just to catch my breath

But I’m playing to the end,

I’m defying the death

When the screen flashes red,

I don't throw it away

I just look for the cheat code

and I live to play

Another day!

Yeah!

(Guitar Solo - Energetic with heavy bass)

(Chorus)

Life is a video game,

you either lose or you win

Pick it back up,

let the journey begin

Keep moving on,

yeah you gotta break through

Never gonna quit,

I’m seeing it through

Sometimes it’s stressful,

I know it feels wrong

But I promise it gets better,

yeah it gets better

(Better, better, better, bet-t-t-t-er)

(Outro)

Never gonna quit...

Yeah, I'm taking the win.

Start over...

Keep moving on.
