The Jon Hill Project – Take The Next Step lyrics

(feat. Casey Crescenzo of The Dear Hunter)

I pace the ground that I've unearthed
Until it's hard as stone
Feeble feet lead endlessly on
At peace with what they couldn't know
And once my pulse starts stirring
I strain to make out what's ahead
My heart is weak but hurried, hurried

Now that tunnelled light is drawing in
Shadows bleed the brilliance
And my unsteady hands fall victim to
Searching eyes with sight untrue
Tracing back the path I left
Too afraid to take the next step

I strain to make out what's ahead

Safe inside the lines that I had carved before
Finding fear in what I didn't know
But as I start to press ahead of where I stand
What little sight I had to fall

Now that tunnelled light is drawing in
Shadows bleed the brilliance
And my unsteady hands fall victim to
Searching eyes with sight untrue
Tracing back the path I left
Too afraid to take the next step

Through what I'm not prepared for
Sights I can't unsee
The hurt there is no cure for
Mischievous misery
That hides right around the corner
Waiting just for me
Betting that I break down
Betting that I'll leave

When the tunnelled light is drawing in
Shadows bleed the brilliance
And my unsteady hands fall victim to
Searching eyes with sight untrue
Tracing back the path I left
Too afraid to take the next step

To blind and dilating light
Every facet clarified
Attenuating to my view
Signs of life
If only I could keep breaking from the path I've kept
Unafraid to take the next step
