One step forward and five steps back I've given all I've got, and I have nothin' left But if you let go, we can be free of pain 'Til the next life Where we meet again One step forward and five steps back I've given all I've got, and I have nothin' left But if you let go, we can be free of pain 'Til the next life Where we meet again Through this valley all has came and left Have yet to forgive for anythin', just tryin' to forget Feel no progress Those things you did to me Left a monster in my head But I haven't forgave you yet And I'm just tryin' to forget Fallin' in my shadow Takin' steps into my grave Everywhere that I turn There's a stranger starin' back at me Love is shallow, my sympathies fake I keep chasin' and searchin' for somethin' That's already dead and gone away, fuck All my friends are dead Or maybe I'm just dead to them I'll never be the one to lift my fuckin' head You'll give it all you got And get nothin' in the end Bastards and black sheep The feelin' of belongin' is a long-lost story Look where optimism got me I'm just hangin' by a thread, let go It never fuckin' ends The other side of the line With a noose around my neck, let go Outsiders hear me as I scream these words When the dark is so close that you can touch And every other way comes up too short, believe me I can feel your pain I can feel My mind starts to die My body is rottin' from inside to outside My eyes begin to fade, I've seen some things, and now I've changed I wish I could go back and erase But life is a debt you can never repay I've seen some things I wish I could erase I've seen some things and now I have changed
