One Step

Описание: Neon through the blinds,
late-night smoke, a borrowed time.
Everybody’s got a place to stay,
clock-in life, the same old days.

“Keep it clean,” “keep it small,”
“Do what you’re told,” you won’t fall.
But safe feels like a quiet cage,
same damn scene until I fade.

I tried to climb the honest way,
more weight, less air, lower pay.
And every time I raise my head,
someone sharper steps ahead.

I’m one step from the line, from the line
One step from the edge tonight
I know it’s wrong, I know it’s wrong
But it feels like I’m alive
One step, one step
Alive, alive
One step
and Alive

There’s “build it right” with shaking hands,
slow returns and broken plans.
Then there’s the ones who never sweat,
selling fire with no regret.

If I stay fair, I stay behind,
if I push, they twist the knife.
They don’t fight clean, they don’t fight kind—
they just wait for you to crack inside.

And lately I don’t sleep, I stare,
counting doors that aren’t quite there.
Every day that nothing moves,
I want the spark I shouldn’t choose.

I’m one step from the line, from the line
One step from the edge tonight
I know it’s wrong, I know it’s wrong
But it feels like I’m alive
One step, one step
Alive, alive
One step
and Alive

It isn’t power, it’s a dare,
a short bright hit in dirty air.
I tell myself I’ll “just take one,”
then act surprised at what I’ve become.

I’m tired of quiet, tired of slow,
tired of “yes” to people I don’t know.
If the world only pays for teeth and claws,
how long before I break my laws?

I’m one step from the line, from the line
One step from the edge tonight
I know it’s wrong, I know it’s wrong
But it feels like I’m alive
One step, one step
Alive, alive
One step
and Alive

I’m one step from the line, from the line
One step— and everything’s bright
I know it’s wrong, I know it’s wrong
But it feels like I’m alive
