[song] Every step you take

verse 1

every steps you take
there's a risk that you take
every moments of your life
there's a chance that you fail

that your cells sometimes fail
to properly replicate
carry over the mistakes
producing a faulty state

all your life to date, you've been
writing code, developing
unbeknownst to you, you weren't
the only one developing

there's a mass waiting for you
to remember what you do
although in that time
it is gonna be told
in the past tense
in time they'll become less tense

hook 1

every steps you take
you could be hit by a train
you could be hit by a truck
you could be hit by a bus, a cab or a taxi
if you prefer to call them "taxi"...
(I prefer to call them "taxi"...)

every steps you take
you could spontaneously combust
your heart could spontaneously stop
your arteries could burst and stop
feeding blood to your brain...
you weren't using it anyway...

verse 2

every steps you take
your choices in the past remain
everything you've eaten, drunk, inhaled
or otherwise consumed will remain

if the main part gets filtered out
they can leave residues behind
like mercury, lead or other stuff
I'm not a medical professional

all I know is
life's chaotic

every steps you take
an uncovered manhole awaits
a driver distracted by the face
of the person on the passenger seat

as you walk by, a sunny day
sudden honking that you hear
hope you didn't feel the pain
before the "shut down" reached your brain
a final signal
of "don't wait for more signals"

hook 2

every steps you take
you could be hit by a train
you could be hit by a truck
you could be hit by a bus, a car or a bicycle
all will know if it was a bicycle...
(the news will talk about bicycles...)

every steps you take
in any moment you could faint
whether you're walking or you drive
or picking up your kids from the Sunday school
they'll talk about God's intentions...
like it wasn't just random...

bridge

don't make a pessimist of me
I already know that of me
some days I too have better days
but this day, it just ain't
it is not one of those days

hook 3

every steps you take
you could be hit by a train
you could be hit by a truck
you could be hit by a bus, a car or a plane
technically it could be a plane...
(if you're especially unfortunate...)

every steps you take
you'd to remind yourself that
a) not everything is against you, and
b) not everyone's an enemy
every steps you take
remember that things can change
remember that there is another day
that may bring the happy days
hope is in those other days

outro (spoken)

things can always get better
don't throw away your chances of happiness
and seek help if you feel like you can't make it
I should do that too
do as I say, not as I do
