Life Line

Things are complicated, I know Mend your heart so it can heal Take comfort in your solitude Remember the time it felt real The picture of a perfect world A gathering, a flag unfurled No wicked words To twist the nerves Both the psyche and the soul Running hot out of control Then returning back To the balancing act Tonight You're mine The life The line The pressure is still driving in So much is lost Oh how to win Against these crooked vultures Turning us against each other So I wipe away every tear I know the end is drawing near It's a dark time, friends So why deny Why pretend? Tonight You're mine The life The line Something has to change now Something has to bend To love or to fail Is how this will end. Things are complicated, I know Mend your heart so it can heal Take comfort in your solitude Take the time you have left Tonight You're mine The life The line
