Draw the Line
Gray David Lyrics

Well we had to grab on something
We needed something to hold onto

So we're pulling at the threads
So we're trying to hold everything together

And now the world's unraveling
But everything is falling apart

Inside our very heads
And it's affecting us deeply

Glasses smeared with lipstick
The remnants of a night out

Hungry eyes out in the street
People searching for something more

Same old bodies moving
But everyone is just going through the motions

To the same old beat
And nothing is really changing

Had to draw the line
I had to make a decisive choice

All this talk can hypnotize you and
All the chatter can be overwhelming

We can ill afford
We can't risk

To give ourselves to sentiment
Being emotional is a luxury we can't afford

When our time is oh so short
Because we have so little time

Names beneath the lichen
The forgotten ones

On these cemetery stones
Buried and gone

And carnivals of silverfish
And even the bugs will outlast us

Waiting to dance upon our bones
To take what's left of us

I've been doubting yours baby
I've been questioning our relationship

I've been doubting mine
I've been doubting myself

I've been out of circulation
I've disconnected

Where the sun don't shine
Where things are dark and hidden

I've been doubting fame and wealth
I've been questioning the values of our society

Charity, even love itself
Even the most noble things

Draw the line
It's time to set boundaries

I ain't saying he's bad baby
I'm not saying he's a bad person

I ain't saying he's good
I'm not saying he's a good person either

Merely that he ain't so different
Just that he's not that different from everyone else

Neath his executioners hood
Even someone with a sinister appearance

In the name of liberty
In the pursuit of freedom

In the name of brotherhood
In the pursuit of unity

Need to take some pride baby
We need to have some self-respect

Need to take some heart
We need to be brave

Need to take evasive action
We need to take action to avoid danger

When the rumpus start
When things get chaotic

Here we are buck naked baby
Here we are, completely exposed

But where should we begin
But where do we even start?

When it's not the flesh we're after
Because it's not about physical things

But the howlin' ghost within
But the emotional turmoil we carry inside

Pack your bags we're going home
It's time to leave this place behind

Help me draw the line
We need to work together to set boundaries
