Step Outside / Paso Fuera



Step outside
The moment
That moment
Dragging you down
Like an anchor
That moment

A word spoken
A word left unsaid
A choice made
Against you
Anger shown
Towards you
Apathy
Wielded as a weapon
Lazily
Offhandedly
Brutally

Floating at sea
Inside a storm
Of regret
Pride
Heartbreak
Loss
Waves rock you
Your boat
Taking on water
Feel yourself
Sinking
Step outside

One centering breath
One foot over the side
Hands gripped tightly
Holding firmly to wood
Convinced your time is over
Cowering inside
Crying tears of damning fear

At lowest ebb
A memory
Enters you
Your mother
Rocking you
Your father
Holding you
A friend
Loving you
You
Being you
Your own voice calls to you
"Step outside"

Upon the water
You stand
What seems like a miracle to others
You understand
The boat you once clung to
Shattered and pulled under
Without you
Because you
Chose to
Step outside

Paso fuera 
El momento 
Ese momento 
Le arrastra hacia abajo 
Ese momento 

Una palabra que se pronuncia 
Una palabra el tintero 
Una elección 
Contra ti 
Ira se muestra 
Hacia usted 
Apatía 
Esgrimida como arma 
Perezosamente 
Offhandedly 
Brutalmente 

Flotando en el mar 
Dentro de una tormenta 
Lamentable 
Orgullo 
Heartbreak 
Pérdida 
Las ondas rock 
Su barco 
Toma de agua 
Usted siente 
Naufragio 
Paso fuera 

Un soplo de centrado 
Uno de los pies sobre el lado 
Las manos sujetan firmemente 
Agarra firmemente a la madera 
Convencidos de que el tiempo de 
Acurrucados dentro 
Llorando lágrimas de miedo abrumador 

Callejeando En 
Un módulo de memoria 
Entra 
Tu madre 
Balanceo usted 
Su padre 
Que te 
Un amigo 
Tu Amor 
Usted 
Está usted 
Su propia voz llama a usted 
"Salga" 

En el agua 
Usted se pone de pie 
Lo que parece un milagro para otros 
Comprender 
El barco con el que una vez se aferraron a 
Destrozada y debajo de 
Sin que ud. 
Debido a que 
Eligió a 
Paso fuera
