first step

it's like time has stopped
it's like time has stopped and gravity has reversed
where instead of the us pushing on the world
it's the world that pushes on us

it's a point where there are many roads
but some are under construction
others seem impassable
others shrouded in a fog
and yet more seem to lead places unknown

life doesn't feel like the game of strategy
where you can set up your moves
hoping nothing gets in your way
it feels more like SORRY!
where all the progress can be made
but in a moment taken away
but life does not apologize

i have a lot of faith in direction
but today above all it feels so strained
won't break but it's bending
if only i knew i could make a move that wouldn't be countered
or a teammate to play-along

first cut is the deepest
first step is the hardest
the foot is in the air
but where will it fall

i'll just put the blame on gravity
