ON MY HONOR lyrics : "The Footholds"

This could've been a train wreck
A total disaster
The end of everything that to this point mattered

Nicks and scraped and fatal falls
Private breakdowns and tearful calls
Not so private now, but wasn't that the point?

To get this story out?
We knew this would hurt
But never knew how loud


This is manning up
This is standing ground

Because you can't move forward if the footholds give out

Didn't mean to be such a let down

Didn't think I'd ever have to say,
I'm oh so sorry but I'm not sure I have
What it takes anymore.

Or any faith in me
I just know I'm more vulnerable
Than I ever thought I could be


It's probably the best that I could say
If I'm too old, weak or late

This all falls in your lap
And I don't know how to feel about that
What qualified me for this?

Taxing attempts at a positive influence
That I've distorted
That I'm still hoping to have


Can't look at this like a let down
Knowing the impact made

On myself
On anyone tied to me
Throw it away

The thought that things can be the same
Eyes ahead, with past outlines empty and tucked away


I stopped keeping track
Of everything that I'm not getting back
I've learned that lists like that

Only serve to counter act
The progress I could make
And steps that I could take


It's not "getting back"
It's finally finding out

That you can't move forward if the footholds give out
