One Step Forward

Words and music by Seth Warren

Electronic Saviors 2: Recurrence (Bonus Tracks)

No master plan
It just happened
Anxiety became anticipation
We lucky few
That point I knew
The time had come to rethink what I wanted

But desire tempts the fates to pass
Tearing deep at tender flesh
Church fools tell me that it’s all to plan
I haven’t the faith to simply accept

Chorus:
One step forward…locking myself in my room
One step forward…picking at yesterday’s wounds
One step forward…fighting optimists and winning
It’s not meant to be now

We’re rushing in
We face a crises
Anticipation reverts to anxiety
You’re giving up?
I can’t believe you!
Well, I’ll cling to that one last desperate reed

Men in white coats claim to understand
But they’re clueless, just as me
A month elapsed I asked you what you need
You tell me that you’re just happy to bleed
Now tell me why you’re so happy to bleed

Chorus
