I walk the line
Yeah, a straight line
Never stepping out

The voices tell me to stay
Don't stray
I try to tune turn them off

Why is it like this
You know?
So scripted

We all walk here
Together
Afflicted

I try to get a glimpse
In front
Up ahead

Try to see what's coming
But all I see
Is a head

A head full up with
Empty promises
Hopeless dreams

I want to voice it
But can't. My
Silent screams

Can't carry trough this crowd
The footsteps
Drown them out

They march in rhythm
Carrying
Blank faces

Carrying a host
A body
A corpse

Because that's the way it goes
Walk the line

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.
