the line

 

so when does everything get better?

i keep hearing the same old line

and it’s sounding worse and worse

every time – every time

i’ve waited and waited oh so long

for the clouds to turn around

but it just gets longer and longer

i’m going down – i’ve gone down

 

time and time i’ve walked the line

keep getting the same bad sign

forever walking this dark road

still planting the seeds i sowed

 

when do i become content?

to reach that point i aspire

it’s making me sicker and sicker

i’m so tired – i’m so tired

i’m living, keep living far too long

in this world where everyone’s lied

my life grows shorter and shorter

i feel like i’ve died – inside

 

walk and walk this same old line

this time it’s blood i’ve cried

now i shed my dark disguise

goodbye, world, from the other side
