One Step Away Songtext

One Step Away Songtext
This place seems so familiar
It′s like I've been a thousand times before
Holding my head in my hands,
Consumed by nightmares
So far beyond control
As the sand pours from the hourglass
Hoping that these thoughts will pass
That tear me from the inside out
So hollow, weak and numb
The pain behind my weary eyes I must conceal
I′m stretched so thin,
Worn down so low
And I've walked down these streets
So many times I know where they lead
Straight to the blackness,
Within my heart,
Within my soul
Like fingers tearing at my veins
To drag me down beneath the surface
Just one step away
Stripping my flesh and bone away
An endless fall
Through vacant silence
This Sisyphean cycle has ground all my convictions into dust
Leaving a fetid scent of disarray
Beneath a lifeless husk
I feel so powerless to stop it now
I'm losing grip,
There′s no way out
I′m falling down,
I'm falling down...
Down!
I shut the door
Eclipse the glare of morning light that blinds my eyes
As I fall to the floor
Ignore the hunger crawling underneath my skin
Take it all away...
...and everything else fades
I bear this burden on my own
No one can see,
No one can know
I fought so hard but what′s left to show
I've lost everything,
I′ve lost everyone
I can't let you see me this way
I′ve fallen down
Beneath the surface
Just one step away
You wouldn't recognize my face
All hollowed out,
So weak and worthless
Like fingers tearing at my veins
To drag me down beneath the surface
Just one step away
Stripping my flesh and bone away
An endless fall
Through vacant silence
I can't let you see me this way
I′ve fallen down
Beneath the surface
Just one step away
You wouldn′t recognize my face
All hollowed out,
So weak and worthless
It′s like I've been a thousand times before
Holding my head in my hands,
Consumed by nightmares
So far beyond control
As the sand pours from the hourglass
Hoping that these thoughts will pass
That tear me from the inside out
So hollow, weak and numb
The pain behind my weary eyes I must conceal
I′m stretched so thin,
Worn down so low
And I've walked down these streets
So many times I know where they lead
Straight to the blackness,
Within my heart,
Within my soul
Like fingers tearing at my veins
To drag me down beneath the surface
Just one step away
Stripping my flesh and bone away
An endless fall
Through vacant silence
This Sisyphean cycle has ground all my convictions into dust
Leaving a fetid scent of disarray
Beneath a lifeless husk
I feel so powerless to stop it now
I'm losing grip,
There′s no way out
I′m falling down,
I'm falling down...
Down!
I shut the door
Eclipse the glare of morning light that blinds my eyes
As I fall to the floor
Ignore the hunger crawling underneath my skin
Take it all away...
...and everything else fades
I bear this burden on my own
No one can see,
No one can know
I fought so hard but what′s left to show
I've lost everything,
I′ve lost everyone
I can't let you see me this way
I′ve fallen down
Beneath the surface
Just one step away
You wouldn't recognize my face
All hollowed out,
So weak and worthless
Like fingers tearing at my veins
To drag me down beneath the surface
Just one step away
Stripping my flesh and bone away
An endless fall
Through vacant silence
I can't let you see me this way
I′ve fallen down
Beneath the surface
Just one step away
You wouldn′t recognize my face
All hollowed out,
So weak and worthless
