Prompt / Lyrics
[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)

rock, Crunchy modern metal-rock; drop-tuned guitars with palm-muted verses exploding into wide, anthemic choruses. Male vocals shifting from urgent melodic grit to shouted gang lines on hooks. Tight, driving drums with double-time kicks in the chorus and a halftime breakdown in the bridge. Subtle ambient guitars in the background of the verses to add tension, then layered harmonies on the title line for a stadium-ready feel., metal
