On The Line

It was my North Star And when my eyes opened up Everybody wanted something from me Stay awake through the game Men wear scars Push and pull use the tool Know you're never getting nothing from me Bear the mark through the haze Tread the ground will help you now We've been told get a wife settle down And they tell us what's real As I fall to the ground I'm looking up I arise to my wake on the line Sever down cross guard Waked and weighted to my feet And my stench is pouring out of my body Time is up they know Late at night they came in threes Distant chatter in the trees And I'm holding onto faith Praying that I can escape Running like a deer For my life my death is near And despite my biggest fears I've gotta stop the fucking tears We've been told get a wife settle down And they'll tell us what's real As I fall to the ground I'm looking up I arise to my wake on the line The red The white The blue The stripes The stars They do not tread on me Yeah Yeah This can't be true This cannot be The American dream Wise man follows his feet Yeah Yeah Tread the ground will help you now Wise man follows his feet We've been told get a wife settle down And they tell us what's real As I fall to the ground I'm looking up I arise to my wake on the line On the line
