lyrics

Babysteps. Calculate everything and begin
Only when it feels like something could. Give.
Foolhardy. Rushed in too quickly and now look; everything has been left in a mess.
Some things should be thought out but that never happened.
Something new; filling the void to make you whole.
String of events that has unwound. proud?
Break the ice; you broke much more than that. Now nothing's left.
The aftermath just stares you in the face.
You knew that it would happen but you weren't prepared to face it.

You should know better
Now you're lost on this road
And your chances are fettered
Of lightening your load

This was a gesture, not a performance
Your intentions were noble but flawed
Your cause was callous;
Toe the path of the fool and accept your reward.
All that's left here is pieces to pick up;
Each one a fragment of knowledge obtained.
You've paid the price for the experience you've gained.

Now's the time. Act on what you've chosen.
Not ideal, but nothing that you choose will ever be. See?
Situation leaves much to be desired but I know
It doesn't take that much to make a bed.
The hardest part of all is wanting to lie down in it.
