Lifeline

Lifeline
V1-2
I've heard your story before
And I know how it ends
Broke down Soul found
In the words you spend
Treading flames
While you drown in the lake of fire
Another 20 dollars and a line
All for another's desires
All the late-night calls coming in
All because you need a couch from a friend

Chorus
You'll try to tame
Your feelings again
Letting everyone read
What falls from your pen
No one has an ear
For the same old thing
You can't keep believing
In more than one king
I've read and read
The book of your life
You're never gonna make it
Till you turn to the light
Climb from the blaze
Lapping at your thigh
Hold onto the one lifeline

V3-4
You'll hit the road
I won't know where or when
I'll hear about your trouble
By the postcard you send
I nearly choked
On my breath
When I last heard
You were nearing death
What's it gonna take
For you to change
You're chasing down your demons
All for the price of fame
I've seen it all
Too many times
How long can you hold onto
Your lies

Chorus
You'll try to tame
Your feelings again
Letting everyone read
What falls from your pen
No one has an ear
For the same old thing
You can't keep believing
In more than one king
I've read and read
The book of your life
You're never gonna make it
Till you turn to the light
Climb from the blaze
Lapping at your thigh
Hold onto the one lifeline
