"A Line In The Dust" lyrics

"A Line In The Dust"
(feat. Mat Welsh of While She Sleeps)

I'm on a thin line, I'm on a ledge
But my whole body says to cross the line

I need a rewind, I've lost the thread
But the whole story is made up of lies

It's written in my cells
It looks like home but feels like hell
It's spinning round again

And I'm drowning, drowning in this world
Full of lies and empty words
I've been saying for so long

And I'm holding on, even though it hurts
And all those lines drawn in the dust
Have been long gone
Have been long gone
Have been long gone

I think I've sold my soul for real
I feel the flames; they're slowly blazing my skin
I heal the burns in a sea of excuses
And I shake my head, but it tightens the noose
I think I'm trapped inside my own realm

It's written in my cells
It looks like home but feels like hell
It's spinning round again

And I'm drowning, drowning in this world
Full of lies and empty words
I've been saying for so long

And I'm holding on, even though it hurts
And all those lines drawn in the dust
Have been long gone

Counting the scars and counting the bruises
All the monsters in my head
Have found a way to escape
I lie to myself
It's spinning round again

I'm talking to the devil, but it's just fueling the flames
I'm talking to myself again

And I'm drowning, drowning in this world
Full of lies and empty words
I've been saying for so long
I've been saying for so long

And I'm holding on, even though it hurts
And all those lines drawn in the dust
Have been long gone
Have been long gone
Have been long gone
