Crossing Lines

Somewhere there's a line that's crossed
Between the future and the time we've lost
There's a point you hit
It's a feeling you get
Your blood runs cold but you're told
To keep pushing on
To keep staying strong
So you learn to deal and just can't feel
Anything but your own heart beating
While your friends are screaming
For your affection, your attention
For any hope in this dissension
You're past the point where words will do
Won't tell lies, scared of the truth
You and I, we both need proof
That the earth still spins and the sun will rise
That someone listens when we cry
That we haven't lost the ones who've died
Because it's that brutal line
Between life and death that gets me every time
I'm prepared to admit I'm scared
Out of my mind
But I find
Every time I try to run I'm trapped, caged
Enthralled, amazed, terrified and dazed
I've crossed that line too many times
To know the difference anymore
Still there's something we're fighting for
The fight may never end
The outcome will depend
On you and I
So long as we fight and love
And live until we die.
