Stepping Outside the Circle Lyrics by Shadows Fall

The Art of Balance

2002

[Verse 1]
Here I go again
A vicious cycle without end
Seeking distance for security
Desperate act to remain free

[Pre-Chorus]
A balance point cannot be found
This whole thing will come crashing down
(Down! Down!)
My fear will drag you down
Into this world that I create
Your love for me has sealed your fate
(Down! Down!)
My fear will drag you down
Can I trust in what I feel?
Praying that this time it's real

[Chorus]
(Feel the strain)
All this time's been spent in vain
(My name)
Open wounds that still remain
(Decay)
As my faith is stripped away
(You'll say)
The final price I have to pay

[Verse 2]
Diggin' in deeper still
The hollowness I yearn to fill
The story always ends the same
The cycle soon begins again

[Pre-Chorus]
A balance point cannot be found
This whole thing will come crashing down
(Down! Down!)
My fear will drag you down
Into this world that I create
Your love for me has sealed your fate
(Down! Down!)
My fear will drag you down
Can I trust in what I feel?
Praying that this time it's real

[Chorus]
(Feel the strain)
All this time's been spent in vain
(My name)
Open wounds that still remain
(Decay)
As my faith is stripped away
(You'll say)
The final price I have to pay

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
(Feel the strain)
All this time's been spent in vain
(My name)
Open wounds that still remain
(Decay)
As my faith is stripped away
(You'll say)
The final price I have to pay

[Post-Chorus]
Diggin' in deeper still
(I've to pay)
The hollowness I yearn to fill
(The final price I've to pay)
The story always ends the same
(The final price I've to pay)

[Outro]
Stepping outside the circle
Stepping outside the circle
Stepping outside the circle
Stepping outside the circle
Stepping
