Steps

[Intro] [Verse 1] The same force that opened her up and delivered you your beautiful girl Is now opening up for someone else, man don’t take it personal The new people birthed onto this planet, it’s their future now You had your time of pleasure and waste, it’s wildly futile anyhow Just release your pain and suffering for your ego is at its end There’s no fortress blockading your heart and no king left to defend [Chorus] Just little steps around the rooms of your soul and the pathways you once roamed You were young once my foolish friend Now you need to find your home She was never yours just like your own kids All living arrows aflame You quivered like a bow as you set them free Let them go with no fanfare or fame [Verse 2] And it stabs you as you cry out but nobody wants to hear You had your nights & days of ecstasy You didn’t hear the wailing of your friends who lost their lives So you can’t own expectancy Hardly anyone sees your light no-one even trips on your shadow And your sharps are landfill rust You were beautiful for so, so many years It’s ok to crumble into dust … [Chorus] Just little steps around the rooms of your soul and the pathways you once roamed You were young once my foolish friend Now you need to find your home She was never yours just like your own kids All living arrows aflame You quivered like a bow as you set them free Now reload for a brand new game [Instrumental] [Verse 3] The lion’s mangy bony days Are brief when hyenas prowl But the hominid stalks it’s only self In the dark gaunt like an owl So give her up for even your child You can’t protect her forever She can’t drink from your bitterness That’s not the way to be together … [Chorus] Just little steps around the rooms of your soul and the pathways you once roamed You were young once my foolish friend Now you need to find your home She was never yours just like your own kids Both living arrows aflame You quivered like a bow as you set them free Now reload for a brand new game [Verse 4] Little steps, little tiny steps You don’t need to be seen or heard Let yourself sleep the longest sleep So your dreams flow unperturbed Tiny steps a shy dance alone Let your energies settle & fade Once you were hip, now you’re probably just pop Taste your own sweet lemonade [Chorus] Just little steps around the rooms of your soul and the pathways you once roamed You were young once my foolish friend Now you need to find your home She was never yours just like your own kids Both living arrows aflame You quivered like a bow as you set them free Now reload for another game [Verse 5] In her liberty she seems sick, twisted & cold But that’s your mirror to her face Her toxic legacy you swallowed it whole You licked the poison off her plate You drank her juice even when it was dark Stagnant & dank you got drunk still You were the wheat for her feasts upon herself And the grist for her swill [Chorus] Just little steps around the rooms of your soul and the pathways you once roamed You were young once my foolish friend Now you need to find your home She was never yours just like your own kids Both living arrows aflame You quivered like a bow as you set them free Now reload for a brand new game [Outro] You quivered like a bow and set them free You were a hero bro, you let them be You let it all go for all eternity You’re a beautiful soul you had your destiny You quivered like a bow and set them free You were a hero bro, you let them be You let it all go for all eternity You’re a beautiful soul you had your destiny You quivered like a bow and set them free You were a hero bro, you let them be You let it all go for all eternity You’re a beautiful soul you had your destiny You quivered like a bow and set them free You were a hero bro, you let them be You let it all go for all eternity You’re a beautiful soul you had your destiny
