Taking The First Step

It happens again
another shut in
lead me home
to be alone
that's what
i get
that's what
i get

Don't question fate
the answers just one more
unsolvable
i can't take
i can't take

we brought us here
you said hold still
i took the pose
as if it was blame

then counted backwards
from 10 p.m.
saw your face form each
crescent
saw that red ribbon regret
start filling that hole in
your chest

weight out
the costs
the profit and loss
weight them out
level your head
