Parallel Lines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Till death do us part, at birth from the start
There's a swell in my heart that you can't tear apart
Even when the world's gone dark we bear witness
To strength underneath of the stress
A self-religion that we all have
Some call it animalistic
A lion in the face of defeat turns to existence
When self-preservation is sweeping across the nation
We need a congregation and this is my public statement
I'm walking down parallel lines
Trying to break out this time
I'm in it for the fight
Everything's fine
I'm having the time of my life
Walking on parallel lines
Not afraid of dying, I'm a lion
It comes as no surprise as we're facing our demise
We need to look inside and finally recognize that
We're human, yes, but we don't have to accept
This level of self-regret I'm trying to self-reflect
I'm pent up in my cage I can waste away these days
Or I can spend these moments developing higher faith
In myself and my friends, my parents and my siblings
There is no better time I'm trying to say this simply
I'm walking down parallel lines
Trying to break out this time
I'm in it for the fight
Everything's fine
I'm having the time of my life
Walking on parallel lines
Not afraid of dying, I'm a lion
Some days I can barely wait
Just to walk through heaven's gates
I close my eyes and contemplate a land that's far away
Where many come and many go
When will we leave? We never know
Our names are written on a stone
So, we won't pass alone
Some days I can barely wait
Just to walk through heaven's gates
I close my eyes and contemplate a land that's far away
Where many come and many go
When will we leave? We never know
Our names are written on a stone
So, we won't pass alone
When I pass leave my casket open
And send it out to the ocean
I just want to feel alive with the motion
I just want to feel alive with the motion
When I pass leave my casket open
And send it out to the ocean
I just want to feel alive with the motion
I just want to feel alive with the motion
