14 Steps Songtext
For centuries now I′ve paced this room
The stains on the wall only further bloom
My body remains tied in this tomb
I live all the same, it's absolute
I quit screaming three hundred years ago
My throat would bleed out but no one would know
I still can′t quite remember why I'm here
They quit showing up only after a year
14 steps marks this place
Cause I'm in hell for life of waste
Two corners here by one corner there
Four walls left for me to stare
When I′m bored I walk and I′ll pace
And 14 steps will mark the face
No demons, fire, or Satan to see
What's left of my soul, what′s left of me
Each stitch I've counted in this small space
I wonder why I′ve never seen a human face
I barely muster the words to speak
They're so needless now if not antique
It′s never been dark with the lights always on
Quiet, silence, peace, they're all dead and gone
Not a sound is ever heard and I never see
There are no days, time is blurred to me
14 steps marks this place
Dead in hell alive to waste
For walls are all that I have to stare
Nothing I knew could ever compare
When I'm bored I walk and I′ll pace
And 14 steps will mark the face
No demons, fire, or Satan to see
What′s left of my soul, what's left of me
Take a stand, take it in, all the scenes
What does it show and what do you think it means?
I′ve never fallen asleep, or so it seems
I don't recall the last time I had dreams
A step ahead, a step in time behind
Stepping up, stepping out of my mind
Steps I see leave footprints outlined
A step at peace, knowing it′s defined
Don't get lost don′t get stuck in this case
You'll never get out and there is no grace
14 steps is all that you will see
What's left of us all, locked inside no key
When I′m bored I walk and I pace
Cause I′m in hell to rot and waste
Sinners don't raise out of their grave, can′t you see?
What's left for your soul when you live like me
The stains on the wall only further bloom
My body remains tied in this tomb
I live all the same, it's absolute
I quit screaming three hundred years ago
My throat would bleed out but no one would know
I still can′t quite remember why I'm here
They quit showing up only after a year
14 steps marks this place
Cause I'm in hell for life of waste
Two corners here by one corner there
Four walls left for me to stare
When I′m bored I walk and I′ll pace
And 14 steps will mark the face
No demons, fire, or Satan to see
What's left of my soul, what′s left of me
Each stitch I've counted in this small space
I wonder why I′ve never seen a human face
I barely muster the words to speak
They're so needless now if not antique
It′s never been dark with the lights always on
Quiet, silence, peace, they're all dead and gone
Not a sound is ever heard and I never see
There are no days, time is blurred to me
14 steps marks this place
Dead in hell alive to waste
For walls are all that I have to stare
Nothing I knew could ever compare
When I'm bored I walk and I′ll pace
And 14 steps will mark the face
No demons, fire, or Satan to see
What′s left of my soul, what's left of me
Take a stand, take it in, all the scenes
What does it show and what do you think it means?
I′ve never fallen asleep, or so it seems
I don't recall the last time I had dreams
A step ahead, a step in time behind
Stepping up, stepping out of my mind
Steps I see leave footprints outlined
A step at peace, knowing it′s defined
Don't get lost don′t get stuck in this case
You'll never get out and there is no grace
14 steps is all that you will see
What's left of us all, locked inside no key
When I′m bored I walk and I pace
Cause I′m in hell to rot and waste
Sinners don't raise out of their grave, can′t you see?
What's left for your soul when you live like me
