Walk the line and tow the earth in my tread.
If there is a god,
Well I don’t know what he’s playing at.
All I know is I’ve been.
Somewhere, and I’ve done some things.
And every now and then
I tell the people what they want to hear.
Fill their ears with lies and sweet surprises
And they don’t realise, that I’m just someone.
There’s no home,
So where the hell is the heart?
I cross the finish line
Before they’ve even shot the gun.
All I know is I’m going.
Somewhere, and I’ve done some things.
And every now and then
I tell the people what they want to hear.
I’ll fill their ears with lies and sweet surprises
But they won’t realise, that I’m just someone.
You say you’ve never seen scars like mine.
You say you’ve never seen stars
Like the ones in my eyes.
You say you’ve never seen a girl
So blind to her own life.
Sleep well, sleep safe tonight.
Walk the line and tow the earth in my tread.
