Steph Something - Composition, Lyrics, Melody, Guitars, Vocals Chet Ray - Bass, Drums, FX, Production There is a tempting fate Flying out the gate And a hunger that You cannot sate The logs are jammed When you cannot wait Oh, it's a far, far cry From tempting fate Just more Smoke and mirrors In the dark A chain of events Linked by Missing the mark Mmmm, it's the subliminal messages That's concerning When there are pictures Of heretics burning In a man-made hell Of inquisitorial learning There are no ifs, ands, buts When so discerning Just more Smoke and mirrors In the dark A chain of events Linked by Missing the mark And the souls we bear Are they still there The souls we bear Are they still there You've got to learn to beg before you crawl You've got to learn to beg before you crawl You've got to learn to beg before you crawl You've got to learn to beg before you crawl © 2026 Stephanie Gilliard
