On My Honor - The Footholds Lyrics
This could've been a train wreckA total disasterThe end of everything that to this point matteredNicks and scraped and fatal fallsPrivate breakdowns and tearful callsNot so private now, but wasn't that the point?To get this story out?We knew this would hurtBut never knew how loudThis is manning upThis is standing groundBecause you can't move forward if the footholds give outDidn't mean to be such a let downDidn't think I'd ever have to say,I'm oh so sorry but I'm not sure I haveWhat it takes anymore.Or any faith in meI just know I'm more vulnerableThan I ever thought I could beIt's probably the best that I could sayIf I'm too old, weak or lateThis all falls in your lapAnd I don't know how to feel about thatWhat qualified me for this?Taxing attempts at a positive influenceThat I've distortedThat I'm still hoping to haveCan't look at this like a let downKnowing the impact madeOn myselfOn anyone tied to meThrow it awayThe thought that things can be the sameEyes ahead, with past outlines empty and tucked awayI stopped keeping trackOf everything that I'm not getting backI've learned that lists like thatOnly serve to counter actThe progress I could makeAnd steps that I could takeIt's not "getting back"It's finally finding outThat you can't move forward if the footholds give out
