One Step
A Killer's Confession Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One step closer

Your life is in my face
Even though it's just another mistake
Keep lying to maintain your perfect world
Are you fading into misery

Houston we have a problem

Pulling away from the strings

Can you hear me

Unraveling in my dreams

Forever in the unknown

Countdown commences in three two one

I'm one step from
Taking this away from you
Understand what motivates you
From total annihilation
One step

One step from taking this away from you

Your site is on perfection
But your will is never tested
Your soft in the base
Just to fitting your place
Who is judge what's black and white
Stand on your feet and fight





Prepare for cleansing by the hands of god
