One Step Away - Trial

One step away From falling off the edge One step away Good as dead Too late to go back Too hard to go on I'm one step away From getting gone Alone at last, I find myself But it's not what I thought it'd be Always climbing up the ladder Reaching for the highest tree Now I'm falling down Backwards in the shaky ground Can you hear me calling out For you? One step away From falling off the edge One step away Good as dead Too late to go back Too hard to go on I'm one step away From getting gone Waking up, can't find myself So who am I supposed to be? Always driving to the dark side In a penny limousine And now I'm falling down Backwards in the shaky ground Can you hear me calling out For you? One step away One step away One step away I'm one step away One step away (Too late to go back) One step away (Too hard to go on) One step away (Good as dead) I'm one step away From getting gone

Some things fast, some things slow Some things take time to grow When all I know is that I'm feeling Numbed out, run down, made of stone There is something telling me that All I need to do is keep moving on I take it one step at a time When the mountain in front of me hangs over everything I take it one breath at a time When the world that is all I see feels like too much for me Put one foot in front of the other One breath after another I (take it one) Take it one step at a time Take it one step at a time Some things last, some things go If we just stand here, we'll never know The road far up ahead of me Is feeling like eternity I can't conceive There is something telling me that All I need to do is keep on moving my feet I take it one step at a time When the mountain in front of me hangs over everything Take it one breath at a time When the world that is all I see feels like too much for me Put one foot in front of the other One breath after another I (take it one) Take it one step at a time Take it one step at a time Put one foot in front of the other One breath after another I (take it one) Take it one step at a time Take it one step at a time

With empty minds and vacant stares Our lifeless generation is drawn Toward the illusions of endless offered bait The same selective vision Let boxcars carry millions to their cremation Inaction masked by pseudo satisfaction So many lives have burned away "Another night with nothing to do" is an infection When anger has no motive and force has no direction A lack of self control invites every distraction From the holocausts we'd see and a world in agony 1944 through 1998: children dead at Birkenau Or Tibetans laid to waste Excuses become our legacy Postponing introspection through denial and self rejection There is no inevitable oppresiion We are digging our own graves Afraid of what we feel so our lives remain the same Uphold the status quo as if there's someone else to blame Who will cast away our ashes after we've thrown Ourselves into the flames? "I can always do it tomorrow" Well you might as well be dead today This is my revolution The epitaph of our collective grave will read that "Work never made us free" Our strength maintained by never giving in We have so much to lose so little time left to begin For even when we're gone The effects of our legacy will still remain So we've got to break it In time alone as the years go by what I feel can't be denied When tension builds and nothing gets changed I strive to understand and redefine this rage And fight for a new legacy
