Sometimes in my bed at night
|
I curse the dark and a pray for light
|
And sometimes, the light's no consolation
|
Blinded by a memory
|
Afraid of what it might do to me
|
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation
|
|
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?
|
Walking on a thin line
|
Straight off the front line
|
Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
|
Walking on a thin line
|
Angry all the time
|
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
|
|
Taught me how to shoot to kill
|
A specialist with a deadly skill
|
A skill I needed to have to be a survivor
|
It's over now or so they say
|
Well, sometimes, it don't turn out that way
|
Cause your never the same when you've been under fire
|
|
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?
|
Walking on a thin line
|
Straight off the front line
|
Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
|
Walking on a thin line
|
Angry all the time
|
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
