Lost the Reins (Step One) - The first track in a 12-song journey through the steps of recovery.

This is where it begins: the moment the fog lifts just enough to see the wreckage. "Lost the Reins" is a raw, unflinching admission of powerlessness—the foundation of transformation. Through haunting highway imagery and bruised confession, the song captures the weight of realizing your life has become unmanageable and that every hand on the wheel was an illusion.

About This Track:
Step One is the shattered mirror we can't look away from. It's for everyone who ever swore they had control while the world burned in the rearview. With empty bottles for a choir and rock bottom as the destination, this song is the first breath after a long drowning—the moment truth becomes the only way forward.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Empty bottle choir singing on the passenger side
Same old highway, different lonely night
My baby's picture on the dash, she's been gone two years
And I'm still running from the truth that brought her tears
Swore I had a handle, swore I had control
But the devil's in the details I can't fold

[Pre-Chorus]
They say the first step's the hardest one to take
That's 'cause you gotta stand still while your whole world shakes

[Chorus]
I'm powerless, this life's unmanageable
The wheel's spinning free and the brakes are gone
Tried to steer my way out of this hurricane
But I lost the reins, Lord, I lost the reins

[Verse 2]
Bills in the glove box, warrants in my name
Boss said don't bother calling, can't place the blame
On nothing but the poison and the choices that I made
When I traded everything I loved for this living grave
And I'm tired of lying, tired of the charade
Tired of paying the price for the mess I've made

[Bridge]
Rock bottom's not a basement, it's a mirror you can't face
When you run out of lies and your pride's out of space
So I'm laying down this burden that I carried like a chain
And whispering the words I swore I'd never say

[Final Chorus]
I'm powerless (yes I am), this life's unmanageable (unmanageable)
I'm standing at the bottom with nothing to lose
Finally telling the truth that I can't refuse
I lost the reins, yeah, I lost the reins

[Outro]
I'm powerless... this life's unmanageable...
I lost the reins...
