This song is an obituary for my grandfather, since he does not have a proper one and was not given the respect he deserved in his final days. - Zack

Kick It

I've kicked it here as long as I can
Catheter hurts and I cannot stand
Its been real lonely without my friends
Who the hell knows if I'll see them again
Kick it
Family first, except when it matters
Gone on without me, wouldn't you rather
Im stuck in a room without a view
And I'll be out of time all too soon
Kick it
You say you love me
and that you care
You say you miss me
Well why weren't you there?
Why weren't you there?
Why weren't you there?
Why weren't you there?
Why weren't you there?
Why?

POS
05:06

You left us and asked us
Why was I abandoned
You called and yelled at us
Said we can't understand
So tragic, very sad
The hand that you were dealt
You're too thick in the head
And I'm not feeling guilt
You're just a piece of shit!
You call me step brother
But we share the same mother
You twisted heartbreaker
You goddamn shit fucker
So tragic, very sad
The hand that you were dealt
You're too thick in the head
And I'm not feeling guilt
You're just a piece of shit!

The Grieving
08:03
|

|
Slow repetitions of the heart phasing out
Fear is a place we drown
While the ship goes down
The blood flow starts to mean nothing
Rotations 'round the statue of cold and mourning
We're still grieving
We're still lying to ourselves
It's meaningless
The grieving
The outcome
Remains why
Hand in hand we go into the darkness
Embrace the weight, jump from the height
We built ourselves up to fall
We really did ourselves in
Our enamored eyes locked onto our past
It's so hard to let go when you're diving in
It's so hard to let go when you're diving in
It's meaningless
The grieving
The outcome
Remains why
Dont love yourself if you're not here
Dont love yourself if you're not here
Dont love yourself if you're not here
Dont love yourself if you're not here

Forever Red

A breath before dead
Her haunting gaze
Seared into my name
Forever red
Book in hand
Black roses died
Messiah lied
No grains of sand in her hand
Entrance to the temple
Your answer lies
Her deathly eyes
Lead by example
Entrance to the temple
Your answer lies
Her deathly eyes
Lead by example
I remember when
Walking in the rain
With screaming thoughts
Grinding the pain
In my heart I've seen
A red so true
So coveted
Inside of you
Ill never see again
Ill never see
You open them
Dead eyes, red eyes
Ill never see again
Ill never see
You open them
Dead eyes, red eyes

Pictures worth a thousand pennies
What you promised is what you keep
Ain't got time to settle for cheap
Irreplaceable tricks at the salvation army
I wanna be pretty on Sabbath Sunday
It takes work to make you worship thee
Pictures worth a thousand pennies
What you promised is what you keep
Dress in black, strapped for cash
Except for a thousand pennies in my bag
I want you deep in thought
With eyes full of fuzz and static
Let's go searching on the beach
For the fossils of long gone memories
Pictures worth a thousand pennies
What you promised is what you keep
Take me out to sea
Take me up the skies
Put the fear of God in me
Like a dear in fog I'll be
Shocked and awed by everything
Like the family dog I'll be
Shocked and awed by everything
Shocked and awed by everything

Degradation and separation
Failed attempts of something more
Strive to be so much better
Then the puzzle incomplete
The picture left unseen
The structure and integrity
never building, never building
Upon the self imposed idol
The picture left unseen
The structure and integrity
never building upon the
self imposed idol
Never afraid of the outcome
Too blind to see so far ahead
The massacre is the ending
Give to me something more
Hinting at the king of salvation
Waving empty promises
Concentrating on crafting perfection
Crushing everything to dust

Weightless
04:41
|
|||
|
If I can see the horizon
where the road meets the sky
I'm bound to fall into
A waking panic
The big open blue
That I'm facing uphill
Presses down on my chest
And I feel frantic
I never felt weightless
In my their arms
Memories are of a burden
Permanently grounded
None of these
are familiar trees
And they are far
and few between
I need nature's blinders up
Before I feel like
I'm taking flight
I never felt weightless
In my their arms
Memories are of a burden
Permanently grounded
I don't remember the last time
they picked me up
I never felt weightless
in someone's arms
Only ever a heavy burden
A trophy too big

Faultered Step recommends:
Faultered Step bassist Alex dons an acoustic guitar and a new persona under the name ALVU. A more personal and close to the heart project.

An EP from Faultered Step drummer Garrett in his own moniker. Very different from FS but very much a unique voice to be heard.
