[Male] I've been walking this devil's road For what feels like forever. Ten thousand steps And the heat is getting hotter. I can feel your eyes on every move, I can feel your salt in every wound, I can feel your claws in every grasp, I can feel you always on me. [Female] I didn't mean to shout, I didn't mean to cry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to scathe, I didn't mean to hate, I didn't mean to leave you. [Male] But you did. It feels like I'll never get away from you. Trapped in hell with the demon herself And I'm playing by her rules. A dark temptress on my back Pulling me back to step one. And I'll never be free of what can only be My own personal hell. [Female] I didn't mean to shout, I didn't mean to cry, I didn't mean to hurt you. [Male] But you did. [Female] I didn't mean to scathe, I didn't mean to hate, I didn't mean to leave you. [Male] But you did. [Male & Female] If we could turn away, But now we're in the fire, We're in the same kind of hell. It's lights out and I hear the demons Surrender my empathy as well. [Female] I didn't mean to love, I didn't mean to hate, I didn't mean to break you. [Male] But you did. I didn't mean to laugh, I didn't mean to say, I didn't mean to hate you. [Female] But you did. I didn't mean to tempt, I didn't mean to mock, I didn't mean to break you. [Male] But you did. [Male & Female] I didn't mean to cut, I didn't mean to laugh, I didn't mean to sideline you. I didn't mean to cry, I didn't mean to scream, I didn't mean to haunt you. I didn't mean to scathe, I didn't mean to stay, I didn't mean the guilt, the hate, the pain, I didn't mean to wish, I didn't mean to miss, I didn't mean to burn us.

Standing Still 04:54

[Female] You descend on my tracks, Make a fire from my fear, And if I can’t make you stop, Stop dead in your tracks, dead in your tracks won’t you Won’t you leave me alone, leave me here in the dark And if I can’t make you stop, rise up from the black, Stop dead in your tracks We’ve been left out to dry Stranded here in the sky We’ve been pulled up too high And I’m questioning why There’s a reason I know, To make my way back to home, And if I swear you this oath, Rescind all this hate, rescind all my hate, I could, But if you reap what you sow, Karma will burn what you know, You’re standing still in the mist, Still in the mist, And I cannot assist We’ve been left out to dry Stranded here in the sky We’ve been pulled up too high And I’m questioning why We are bound by time Captured under light We are bound by time We are throwing knives We are bound by time Captured under light We are bound by time We are under fire We’ve been left out to dry Stranded here in the sky We’ve been pulled up too high So just pass me the knife I will drag you down I will drag you down I will drag you down I will drag you down We’ve been left out to dry So just pass me the knife

[Male] I will walk 10,000 steps Just to get out of this place Just to rid my mind of seeing your face Even when I close my eyes I will walk through the fire and flames Burn my soles and cut my feet Claw my way when my legs cave in All I want to do is be free of this hell 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road And all I wanna do is be free of this hell I will march through the plains of dust I will burn under the sun I will walk, or I will die Better death than eternity here I will walk 10,000 steps I will march out of this hell I won't listen to a word of protest And nothing you can do can stop me now 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road And all I wanna do is be free of this hell I will walk 10,000 steps I will walk 10,000 steps I will walk 10,000 steps And all I wanna do is be free of this hell I have gambled with the devil himself To try and pull me from this place I cast the die, and took the step And nothing you can say will bring me back I have dreamed so long of freedom A perfect life of solitude At the furthest point, away from you I will leave you caged in this hell You have brought it on yourself Dragged me down to this level All of this - it's all your fault I wish I'd never even known you at all And now I'm going, I'm walking away Shutting the door on you I'll bolt the door, I'll burn the key And heaven nor hell can stop me now [Female] He won’t go home [Male] 10,000 steps on a devil’s road [Female] He won’t go home [Male] 10,000 steps on a devil’s road [Female] He won’t go home [Male] 10,000 steps on a devil’s road [Female] He won’t go home [Male] And all I wanna do is be free of this hell 10,000 steps on a devil’s road [Female] He won’t go home [Male] 10,000 steps on a devil’s road [Female] He won’t go home [Male] 10,000 steps on a devil’s road [Female] He won’t go home [Male] And all I wanna do is be free of this hell 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road 10,000 steps on a devil’s road

[Male & Female] Knives out, Here in a bloody deadlock How did we How did we twist everything? Why should I stand for your demands When all I want is your heart? It’s always you and me, Our future is plain to see If we don’t make it happen The hate is all we’ll be If it’s a future that we want Or darker days we’re yet to haunt We have to make this happen Or the hate is all we’ll be Look back I said I’d we’d fare through the weather But I lost track It’s hard to just stick together Why should I stand for your demands When all I want is your heart? It’s always you and me, Our future is plain to see If we don’t make it happen The hate is all we’ll be If it’s a future that we want Or darker days we’re yet to haunt We have to make this happen Or the hate is all we’ll be It’s always you and me, Our future is plain to see But if we don’t make it happen The hate is all we’ll be If it’s a future that we want Or darker days we’re yet to haunt We have to make this happen Or the hate is all we’ll be It’s always you and me, Our future is plain to see But if we don’t make it happen The hate is all we’ll be If it’s a future that we want Or darker days we’re yet to haunt We have to make this happen Or the hate is all we’ll be [Male] We can ride out to the sun But I’ll probably kill ya when we’re done [Female] I’d like to take you to the end of the world So I can throw you off the edge [Male] I need you like I need a hole in the head [Female] I need you like a forest needs a fire [Male & Female] But hell we can’t just rid each other of each other It’s our desire

[Male & Female] And as we look to the new dawn Never going, never staying Always rotating And I can’t get through And all of this has seemed to change Never better, always helpless Always appearing As though it’s breaking [Male] We tried to walk away On a road of broken glass Our hope alive though [Female] And we didn’t start a fire Life dried out, dead as weeds, Fire cleanse us [Male & Female] And as we look to the new dawn Never going, never staying Always rotating And I can’t get through And all of this has seemed to change Never better, always helpless Always appearing As though it’s breaking And I’m not giving up on you I’ve just had enough of us Always knives out Who will get through? [Male] I see the deadness in your eyes, Never bright, never right, You’ve lost it all [Male & Female] And as we look to the new dawn Never going, never staying Always rotating And I can’t get through And all of this has seemed to change Never better, always helpless Always appearing As though it’s breaking And I’m not giving up on you I’ve just had enough of us Always knives out Who will get through? And I will leave the biggest mark In a way I know you can’t I won’t stop you Burn in the sun now

about

Following a bitter breakup, a couple find themselves unable to permanently part ways. In order to help them along, they are committed to hell, a subsection reserved specifically for them - the Devil Road. They are both given a way out, to be free of one another forever, all they have to do is carry out one simple task.

To the man, he must simply walk 10,000 steps. A small challenge, given the burning paths he must travel, but ultimately no great distance.

To the woman, she must simply get the man to stay still long enough, and she will be granted her freedom.

The one who carries out their task will be allowed to continue their life, while the other will be permanently trapped in the Devil Road.
