Steps

I’m one step ahead of you keep your money
for your scavenger hunts and secret functions
what am I in your eyes? what I’m made of truth or lies
you decide

i’m two steps ahead of you
you keep your company
with wagging tales and tongues dreamless sleepers
it’s what they are in your eyes it’s what you’ve paid for
in your mind
you decided

i’m three steps ahead of you keep coming
I shouldn’t let you own me
I shouldn’t let you in
if i make it in the morning
We can share in my conceit
With my folly right below.

Buried in the deep
Underneath
I’m one step ahead of you
