Lyrics

Ten Steps Forward

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.

Like a hunter in the woods looking for something

Without a plan you can't get anything

And imperfection drove me to see nothing

And that's why I'm not breathing

And imperfection makes more sense when put in the context of human existence

And I can say I promise truth to this

Even though I know I probably don't

And forever is everything to me

It's been projected through all of my dreams

And I held you tight and said I wanted to love you forever

Even though I know I probably won't

I guess I've been caught

I guess this is all my fault

I guess I've been caught

I gave you all I got

I exist for two reasons and two reasons alone

The first is that God was willing to take a gamble on a soul

And the second was because the ones who made me took too long to let go

Sons today are the reenactment of cheap pornography

And daughters are taught only to love if they can break through a glass ceiling

And these double standards have become a disease

And diseases tend to dictate what we think we can be

So we hunt the weak

The ones that are infected in the feet

So they can't run from the hunters when we don't get what we need

And a good hunter knows to use every part of the animal

Like I did to all my friends in the final hour

When I finally felt alone I realized you can't cry wolf when you're already devoured

And to let the ones who felt empowered feel useless when I drained them of their blood

And I told them it was all in the name of love

I guess I've been caught

I guess this is all my fault

I guess I've been caught

I gave you all I got

I guess I've been caught

I guess that this is all my fault

I guess I've been caught

I gave you all I got

So darling, whisper in my ear

Tell me things are going to change

Tell me I'm not supposed to be this way

Tell me it's my time

Tell me that I've been brave

Whisper in my ear

Tell me not to be afraid

Tell me my fear is okay

I'm okay

I've done this the best way

I guess I've been caught

I guess that this is all my fault

I guess I've been caught

I gave you all I got

I guess I've been caught

I guess that this is all my fault

I guess I've been caught

I gave you all I got
