Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looming, omnipresent
This task ahead, this task at hand
Ominous and daunting
Crippling undertaking, I'm frozen
[Verse 2]
Where to begin eludes me
Without you to remind me
[Verse 3]
Just take the step
Just take the swing
Just take the bite
Just go all in
[Verse 4]
Where to begin eludes me
Rooting ever deeper
This massive endeavor
Ominous and daunting
Crippling undertaking
[Verse 5]
Just take the step
Just take the swing
Just take the bite
Just go all in
[Verse 6]
Take the stand
Take the swing
Take the bite
Just take the bite
[Verse 7]
Take the stand
Take the swing
Take the bite
Just go all in
[Verse 8]
And where to begin eludes me
And without you to remind me
Just begin
