Walk the line


Life is loud, so close your ears if you are not prepared.
All we sing rocks all the time, so why have so much fear?
Scream with us when the sun goes down
And play a guitar made from air.
Born to do it, my soul craves it, so I must let myself hear.


On a one way trip to make it to the other side of Hell;
Come creep with me through the nightmares inside my mind.
I need to see what lies at the end of eternity for myself.
I cannot believe their truth, their fear, for I am a seeker in the night.


I breathe my words into your conscience;
I never claimed that I could be the one to make a change.
All I am here to do is show you there could be another way;
Welcome to the dark side, the right side…going down in flames.


This light burns brighter than a thousand sons;
My guide through all the bad times will show us the way.
You and I hand in hand, until the bitter end of us;
Concentrate, so we don’t break.  Shall we go for it or will you stay?


Never mind the consequences;
Take the leap of faith with me before we lose it.
Let us fly into an unknown future with our eyes tightly closed.
I want to live an extraordinary life and it all begins with just a kiss.
We have been blinded to the possibilities, so let them be exposed.


They do not care if we choose their way of life,
They only care that we do not find our own way.
They expect us to own a house, keep a job and find a wife;
But we know of their expectations and still we say…


This life is not yours to control,
You have had your own life and your own time.
This last chance is mine
And this is my soul!
I will do whatever I choose to do,
So I cannot just fall in line.
