The Line
by Candlebox
I am the line, I hold you near
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
You're in suspension, you know no love
There is no story left to tell, you have no wisdom to pass on
I am the soul of absolution, no man can hurt his own illusion
My hands are crippled from the pain, you are the splinter in my vein
You put your head between your hands, and understand, nothing it is,
I feel the answers keep you scared, I've put the harm inside myself
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
You're in suspension, you know no love
There is no story left to tell, you have no wisdom to pass on
I am the soul of absolution, no man can hurt his own illusion
My hands are crippled from the pain, you are the splinter in my vein
You put your head between your hands, and understand, nothing it is,
I feel the answers keep you scared, I've put the harm inside myself
I am the line, I hold you near
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
I am perfected, I know no void
I have no conscience to keep clear, I understand there's nothing more
You try to kid yourself with questions, pleading in time for some correction
I found you tied onto the cross, with judgement on your every thought
You know my words all mean the same, you've buried here to isolate
And in this prison in your mind, well, you were born without a spine
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
I am perfected, I know no void
I have no conscience to keep clear, I understand there's nothing more
You try to kid yourself with questions, pleading in time for some correction
I found you tied onto the cross, with judgement on your every thought
You know my words all mean the same, you've buried here to isolate
And in this prison in your mind, well, you were born without a spine
When did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring?
Where did you stop caring?
Where did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring?
Where did you stop caring?
Where did you stop caring?
OPEN INVITATION
(Hidden Track)
(Hidden Track)
All along
I've been waiting on the open invitation
You're silent, show me no relation
In the rising calm
Don't you feel alone? I'll be standing with your sorrow
All you left me is gone away tomorrow
And we may never be here again
And we may never be here again
I've been waiting on the open invitation
You're silent, show me no relation
In the rising calm
Don't you feel alone? I'll be standing with your sorrow
All you left me is gone away tomorrow
And we may never be here again
And we may never be here again
Pull me up on either side
Don't leave me standing alone in the light
Pull me up on either side
Don't leave me standing alone in the light
Don't leave me standing alone in the light
Pull me up on either side
Don't leave me standing alone in the light
All along
I've been waiting on the open invitation
You're silent, show me no relation
In the rising calm
Don't you feel alone? I'll be standing with your sorrow
All you left me is gone away tomorrow
And we may never be here again
And we may never be here again
I've been waiting on the open invitation
You're silent, show me no relation
In the rising calm
Don't you feel alone? I'll be standing with your sorrow
All you left me is gone away tomorrow
And we may never be here again
And we may never be here again
