One Step Closer
One step closer to death
You better take one last breath
One turn on the edge of the dial
You sinned yourself,
but embraced the child who ran from his fate
Is heaven a way
for those who chose to know and negate?
One crack in the wall of your mind
a lonely rose, get better with time
and it shows
And you should understand that we're all here now
Same as it ever was
One more kiss before we're bound
One more prayer before you sleep
One more tear to make our peace
One more touch to feel the cold
Keep it with you as you go
And you go alone
CHORUS
And will you bathe yourself tonight
In the tears of another
To escape the trail of light
That'll follow you down, down, down
And will you bask in candlelight
While the tears of another drown
In the answers that you sought
In a love you never found
And everything is cloudy on these days
But the lights are beautiful
As the embers frame your face
Daylight break, and tears apart any fortune that I had
As I hold you in my arms
I watch my treasure turn to ash
It slips from my grasp
Chorus
Lay me down
Lay me down
Toss a rose on my old resting place for now
I put my ear to the ground
Won't you tell me everything now that you're bound
Lay me down
Lay me down
Toss a rose on my old resting place for now
One step closer to death
You better take one last breath
One turn on the edge of the dial
You sinned yourself,
but embraced the child who ran from his fate
Is heaven a way
for those who chose to know and negate?
One crack in the wall of your mind
a lonely rose, get better with time
You better take one last breath
One turn on the edge of the dial
You sinned yourself,
but embraced the child who ran from his fate
Is heaven a way
for those who chose to know and negate?
One crack in the wall of your mind
a lonely rose, get better with time
and it shows
And you should understand that we're all here now
Same as it ever was
One more kiss before we're bound
One more prayer before you sleep
One more tear to make our peace
One more touch to feel the cold
Keep it with you as you go
And you go alone
CHORUS
And will you bathe yourself tonight
In the tears of another
To escape the trail of light
That'll follow you down, down, down
And will you bask in candlelight
While the tears of another drown
In the answers that you sought
In a love you never found
And everything is cloudy on these days
But the lights are beautiful
As the embers frame your face
Daylight break, and tears apart any fortune that I had
As I hold you in my arms
I watch my treasure turn to ash
It slips from my grasp
Chorus
Lay me down
Lay me down
Toss a rose on my old resting place for now
I put my ear to the ground
Won't you tell me everything now that you're bound
Lay me down
Lay me down
Toss a rose on my old resting place for now
One step closer to death
You better take one last breath
One turn on the edge of the dial
You sinned yourself,
but embraced the child who ran from his fate
Is heaven a way
for those who chose to know and negate?
One crack in the wall of your mind
a lonely rose, get better with time
