Drawing The Line

Album: The Incident (2009)

  • Camphor crossed with lace, it is the witching hour
    Cinematic but crude
    Teasing all my feelings out, you move away
    It seems so natural to you

    Still siren, climbing up the victory tower
    Like there's something left to prove
    I trap the beads of sweat that run between my eyes
    And free the fever to move

    I'm drawing the line, I'm drawing the line
    I'm drawing the line, I draw the line
    And I have my pride
    I'm taking control, I'm taking control
    I'm taking control, I'm taking control
    And I save my soul
    I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
    I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
    And I have no doubt

    Dreamt the sound of scissors, cutting stitches out
    Then discarding the used
    Recording all my problems onto memory cards
    Your compassion unmoved

    Onto others what they always do to you
    The most twisted of your rules
    Distill malaise and photograph the hole it leaves
    Running out a copy for you

    I'm drawing the line, I'm drawing the line
    I'm drawing the line, I draw the line
    And I have my pride
    I'm taking control, I'm taking control
    I'm taking control, I'm taking control
    And I save my soul
    I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
    I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
    And I have no doubt Writer/s: COLIN EDWIN BALCH, GAVIN RICHARD HARRISON, RICHARD BARBIERI, STEVEN JOHN WILSON
