Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes in my bed at night
I curse the dark and I pray for the light
And sometimes, the light's no consolation
[Verse 2]
Blinded by the memory
Afraid of what it might do to me
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation
[Verse 3]
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door
The one you find so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fighting for?
[Chorus]
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
Loose on the streets of the city
[Chorus]
Walking on a thin line
Angry all the time
Take a look at my face
See what it's doing to me
[Verse 4]
Taught me how to shoot to kill
A specialist with a deadly skill
A skill I needed to have to be a survivor
[Verse 5]
It's over now or so they say
Well, sometimes, it don't work out that way
'Cause you're never the same when you've been under fire, no
[Verse 6]
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door
The one you find so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fighting for?
[Chorus]
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
Loose on the streets of the city
[Chorus]
Walking on a thin line
Angry all the time
Take a look at my face
See what it's done to me
[Verse 7]
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door
The one you find so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fighting for? No
[Chorus]
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
Loose on the streets of the city
[Chorus]
Walking on a thin line
Angry all the time
Take a look at my face
See what it's doing to me
[Outro]
Walking on a thin line
Walking on a thin line
Walking on a thin line
