Lines
There are all these lines
Some stay right on the them, use the lines to direct them where to go.
In their mind you must never sway from the line
because that line is where you are meant to go in order to live your life right,
they don't know why they follow it,
maybe their fathers or mothers followed it before them
and so they feel that they must follow the same exact line
in order to preserve the heritage,
make the family proud.
Some people use the lines to make 'A' and 'B' type decisions
"Do I cross the line, or do I not?"
to most of these type of people,
they have a clear sense of what is "right" and "wrong"
based on the side of the line things are on...
it must be nice to live in a world where right and wrong is easy as black and white.
You're blind and ignorant
Nothing in this life is black and white,
as close minded as you may be, there is a world that exist
in the shades of gray - on the other side of your blinders.
And yeah maybe you can make it through your narrow little life
without looking to see what's outside
judging, taking things at face value..
according to your simple yet biased standards.
But from where I am, the life you live is so flat and limited
and it is you who has made it that way.
I guess it must be easier
thinking, feeling, living 'inside the box'
You don't have to lay in the dark in the middle of the night
wondering where your heart will lead you next
knowing that there are consequences to following your heart
in this world that you worms have created.
I'll take it though, I'll take all of the shit,
all of the worry, the alienation,
the self analysis that leads to the self mutilation
because it is those things that remind me
that I am still alive,
I am still 3-dimensional,
I still have my colors
And no matter what you throw at me next it's not going to change who I am
I will never follow your line, I will never choose a side
I will never close my eyes to color.
