Josh Read - The First Step Is the Last Step Lyrics

I need to find a way out of here, I'm gripped by a ceaseless fear
A stranglehold from ear to ear, all year
Every day feels the same, they're just allocated separate names
Monotony fills my veins
The first step is the last step, I took one step out the door
And I don't even know what for
Living every day, the exact same way, is leaving my cortex frayed
Why am I so afraid, of making myself displayed, a worker drone on parade?
The first step is the last step, I took one step out the door
And I don't even know what for
I've been kept under lock and key, but I will find my liberty
Open the gate to be freer, even if I die it's better than being here
I've been given this opportunity, but the sadness still consumes me
Ever since I was labelled diseased
They've ripped apart all my pride and left me with nowhere to hide
But with this key I'll unlock, the outside
