Steps
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
when i beat my head against the wall
of convention the blood i taste is everyone's
i fought a battle thought unpopular for stakes
nobody seems to see nobody sees but me
one step forward two steps back come on
and try me my pain is the pain
of children my heart is burning with their
shame when mother cries all day i'll wipe
those tears away you can't grow up healthy
in a house of for every father holding
back the angry fire until five when it
festers on the drive his boss has shamed
him to tears he should "take it like
a man" but he never had a man
to tell him
