Steps
the steps i've been chasing get lost in the shadows
but my eyes are adjusting so i know where i won't go
i'm safe over here i'm just picking up the pieces
mother wait over there i'll be back in a moment.
No wait! I said wait! i'll be back any second!
i'm almost done now so i can show you i meant it
you're wrong and naive, a little boy turned stupid.
you can plead and you can plead but just look at the symptoms
you're a darkness engulfed, an absence of me!
i taught you the light, what more could you need?
I even gave you the air, you just have to breathe!
but mom the air is all around me and I'm breathing just fine
i know its dark where i stand but believe me I'm kind
and finding the lines, to lead me back to you
i may be sickled from reason but i know that its true
