The Stranger's Six - One Step Closer lyrics

One step closer to d**h You better take one last breath One turn on the edge of the dial You sinned yourself But embraced the child who ran from his fate Is heaven a way For those who chose to know and negate? One crack in the wall of your mind A lonely rose, get better with time And it shows And you should understand that we're all here now Same as it ever was One more kiss before we're bound One more prayer before you sleep One more tear to make our peace One more touch to feel the cold Keep it with you as you go And you go alone CHORUS And will you bathe yourself tonight In the tears of another To escape the trail of light That'll follow you down, down, down And will you bask in candlelight While the tears of another drown In the answers that you sought In a love you never found And everything is cloudy on these days But the lights are beautiful As the embers frame your face Daylight break, and tears apart any fortune that I had As I hold you in my arms I watch my treasure turn to ash It slips from my grasp Chorus Lay me down Lay me down Toss a rose on my old resting place for now I put my ear to the ground Won't you tell me everything now that you're bound Lay me down Lay me down Toss a rose on my old resting place for now One step closer to d**h You better take one last breath One turn on the edge of the dial You sinned yourself But embraced the child who ran from his fate Is heaven a way For those who chose to know and negate? One crack in the wall of your mind A lonely rose, get better with time
