Hear me pray: "my will be broken"
Please betray me, hopes unspoken
Let me crawl onto your cross and smile
Let me live anesthetized

But my dreams, they still consume me
Every scene, I seem to screen again
Not a night I don't feel overwhelmed
What I see is what they get, instead:

One step ahead for me
Is always two behind
What did I take
To think I'm doing fine?
'One step a day'
'Just one step away'
Like doing time

Making love to isolation
Made my peace with indignation
Not a lot that I can hope to be
I can hear the years count down in me

One step ahead for me
Is always two behind
What did I take
To think I'm doing fine?
'One step a day'
'Just one step away'
Like doing time

One step ahead for me
Is always two behind
What did I take
To think I'm doing fine?
'One step a day'
'Just one step away'
Like doing time
