Limits of A Real Fine Line

The difference between actions and habits,

     is often measured by the person you're asking.  

One bump, one line, one half ounce . . .

All shared by people you don't even give a **** about.

 

These chemicals make me sick --

              Limitless . . . Why quit?

              When it's only ten bucks for a hit like this?

Even Jesus Christ would have gotten addicted,

              if drugs in his day were half this good.

 

"Yeah, I'm smashed -- but I promise I can drive fine."

      Walk and push the limits of a real fine line...

If I don't **** myself, or someone else . . . I'm happy.

       Stare death in his eyes, wink, and start laughing.

 

Gasping as I swerve lanes --

Stay safe, get paid. Mundane daily.

Living a-live . . .

Eat. Sleep. Dream. Get laid.  

Chase feelings.

 

           *Please, just feel me now.

                                    You know me, right?

 

           Please, just feel me now.

                                    You love me, right?*

 

I want to melt with you -- let our souls collide . . .

Dissolve the boundaries between students and teachers.

        To bridge the gap in the great divide

        No secrets between us -- bleed into the speakers.

 

Feel the air in your chest, and ask God for a reason

To stay or leave Him.

He makes excuses . . .

 

                                                    . . . Believe Him.
