[Verse 1]
Two steps forward
One step dragged through the mud
Every footprint
Filled with somebody’s blood
I hear ‘em breathing
Hot on the back of my neck
Their shadows stretching
Trying to cash in my debt
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t crawl for the comfort
I won’t beg for the past
If the pressure is a hammer
I’ll be the unbroken glass (yeah)
[Chorus]
Two steps forward
One step back
Gotta stay ahead of everything behind me
Teeth at my heels
Claws on the track
They can chase
But they’re never gonna find me
I feel the world try to pull me off my path
But I keep moving
I keep moving
Two steps forward
One step back
I turn that drag into my traction
[Verse 2]
Sleep’s a rumor
Eyes wide
Wired and sore
Old regrets
Pounding fists on the door
Every failure
Painted loud on my spine
But I wear it
Like a rusted battle sign
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stumble in the crossfire
I’ll rise out of the smoke
Every scar is a reminder
Every breath another chokehold broke (hey!)
[Chorus]
Two steps forward
One step back
Gotta stay ahead of everything behind me
Teeth at my heels
Claws on the track
They can chase
But they’re never gonna find me
I feel the world try to pull me off my path
But I keep moving
I keep moving
Two steps forward
One step back
I turn that drag into my traction
[Bridge]
Let ‘em circle
Let ‘em laugh at the strain
They don’t see the engine
Burning under the chain
Every pull
Every push
Every crack in my will
Is a fuse in the dark
Waiting
Waiting to kill
[Chorus]
Two steps forward
One step back
Gotta stay ahead of everything behind me
Teeth at my heels
Claws on the track
They can chase
But they’re never gonna find me
I feel the world try to pull me off my path
But I keep moving
I keep moving
Two steps forward
One step back
I turn that drag into my traction
(I turn that drag into my traction)
