Lyrics

Cross the line
by Jacob Simmons

How long must I stand her on the edge
How long must I stand alone

It's getting harder as the years go by
the feelings just won't cease to grow

turn away runaway don't let me cross the line

So what's the point of trying to cover up
I'll fail whether it's sooner or later or now
Am I just one who is meant to be on his own
How does one learn to save himself

Let me self destruct save your would be love
turn away runaway don't let me cross the line

Let me go back to a time when the future
was laid out before me like open doors
Let me escape to a life where the used aren't
potrayed as a cure to the lost and worn
