Slave To The System

Walk The Line

Slave To The System


There's a cold shame 
That lingers in the air that fills this room 
And everything has changed 
We built it up but hit the wall so soon 

And maybe I could have done more 
To make a change 
But I was too far gone to find my way 
So many things to keep us here 
But not enough to teach us how to 

(Chorus) 
Breathe as we walk the line 
Or fall a thousand steps behind 
Breathe as we walk the line 

Through the silence 
A weeping from the walls still remains 
Where's my redemption 
And why does looking back bring so much pain 

We want it all, we want it now 
And nothing else can make us understand 
Sometimes it gets so hard 
It's such a shame that you're not here 
To take my hand and help me 

(Chorus) 
Breathe as we walk the line 
We fell a thousand steps behind 
Breathe as we walk the line 
The song within, once yours and mine 
Breathe as we walk the line 
We fell a thousand steps behind 

Now I leave here and close the door to this room one more time 
I feel the warm sun 
It holds me close as I walk down the line
