Line

Lessons learned, dying breath
I want you to breathe
Hands are tied
And legs are crossed
Look at me

Every day you watch the waves
That crash from the sea
Run your fingers through the sand
And draw a line between

Why was it me you focused on
While the greatest divide split our world in hemispheres
You look from the left to the right
And see a clear disparity
But the one you want
Is your's to keep

You're failing repeatedly down a path that never ends
Walking the line between us
Keeping your balance on a rope suspended high
Don't look down, embrace the fall

You don't have the will
To blend together day and night
I push from the left, you pull from the right

Feel it fade away
Watching us decay
An erosion of our past

Observe me
Watch as we find out what we are
Just look up and see the sun
The world's on
Our shoulders
Carried to the end
I'll wait here
For us to start

Trying to find a way to stay right in the center
Does nothing but make it hard to leave you here in silent disarray
Ambivalent fork in the road, it leads me in a circle
The one I choose
Is mine to keep

I try to run away and leave it all behind
Erase the line between us
You show indifference to the sacrifice I made
As you walk the broken path

I didn't stop to think
I need another drink
Water that turns to wine
If i told you that id cross the finish line

You wouldn't cross that line
(you wouldn't ever dare to cross that line)
You just left me out to dry
(i never thought i'd have to ask you why)
You won't make it back in time
(you wouldn't ever make it back in time)
Come on in, the water's fine
