Step Back

Out of nowhere, this is not a fair game
It isn’t love, no heart no shame
All these words fired at me so violent and cruel
We’re hittin’ new lows, this is not my truth

Feel the beasts of hate stir deep in my soul
I feel ‘em rise up, emboldened
Every bone in my body screams fight like you mean it
Kinda like hit or be hit but then I stop

And take a step back
Gonna let the fire burn
Not in the mood for combat
Gonna give away my turn
Cos I don’t wanna get mad
I’m gonna take a step back
Find a little peace
Try to step back now and breathe

But it’s getting much harder now
The more I avoid it, the more my blood boils
And I need to get as far as I can from this place
I got the devil in my eyes where once I had grace, stop

And take a step back
Gonna let the fire burn
Not in the mood for combat
Gonna give away my turn
Cos I don’t wanna get mad
I’m gonna take a step back
Find a little peace
Try to step back now and breathe

I got myself right out of this mess like champion
I couldn’t care less what just happened, but then I stop

And take a step back
Gonna let the fire burn
Not in the mood for combat
Gonna give away my turn
Cos I don’t wanna get mad
I’m gonna take a step back
Find a little peace
Try to step back now and breathe
