Outside the Line

I can’t wake up from this never-ending nightmare
I’m trapped in this self-imposed purgatory
Burying me under a heavy blanket of melancholy
The unknown awaits me, and I’m scared.

It always rains the hardest on the people who deserve the sun
Yet few in life ever get what they deserve
Dedication and loyalty are both a blessing and a curse
The countdown to the unknown has just begun.

There’s a thin line between morality and destruction
I choose to walk outside the line
I need to have a clear vision of the big picture
I can’t afford to make devastating mistakes.

I need to have my mind opened to the universe
Outside the line is where the truth lies
I need the opportunity to at least try…
To accept it; it’s the least that I deserve.

Few have seen what lies outside the line
And I intend on becoming part of the chosen few
Following the breadcrumbs have led me back to you
And I know that everything I’ve seen was a sign.

We’ve brought our own doom upon us
Yet I won’t fight to protect my people…
Whom have turned their back on me, as if I’m not they’re equal
I guard well both my heart and my trust.

I stand outside of the line
You can’t follow me to the other side
I have a duty to complete
This is where we say goodbye.
