Between the Lines

(What it tis it taint,& What it taint it tis

Its the theme of ?where we're goin'?)

[Verse 1: Slug]

See the police man, notice the lonely man

How do you think he keeps his head on straight?

Can you feel his rhythm? What do you think he visions

When he squints at the line from behind those shades

Feel the summer's crest, overdressed

So much sweat, his skin begins to chafe

Its the surface wet the nervous mess

Overbearing and jaded from carrying the weight

Irritated and constipated

And its all cup of player hated, funnelin consolidated

Into the shell of one man with a gun

Riding that thin line between the program and the sun

And I don't hate you, for tryin to relate to

Wishin you could find a trap door to escape through

But if I see you as a threat to my seedling or my sibling

I'm dying to pull the plug on your machine

Chorus: Slug(2X)

And I just might just find somebody

And I just might just love somebody

And I just might just feel somebody

And I just might just kill somebody

[Verse 2: Slug]

Can you see her?

She spends her whole day in a theater

Livin her time in the life that she would prefer

& she stirs nothing, comes & goes she wishes

Surroundings oblivious to her whole existence

But if they only knew?

About the thoughts that she can't seem to stop from comin

through

Comin' across

At a loss for dialogue

Walkin through the fog

With her eyes closed & her mind gone

And now she lives in the films that she sees

And dreams that she kills us repeatedly

I'm impressed with the tolerance she brandishes

If it was me, I would snapped from the sheer overanxiousness

I'm waitin for the day she strolls through Muddy Waters

And slaughters sons & daughters and bloodies smothers in

coffins

Lovely little case study castaway cutie

Masturbating in back of that matinee movie

And someday, oneday, when the credits roll

She'll hold a pocket full of gunplay for the ignorant souls

Then we'll know to what death awake touch the sleep

Make me walk the thin line between shallow and deep end

Chorus: (2X)

And I just might just find somebody

And I just might just love somebody

And I just might just feel somebody

And I just might just kill somebody(my body)

[Verse 3: Slug]

He used to write his rhymes and recite his lines all the time

Sometimes he'd make them up right off the top of his mind

After doin shows for years, gettin respect from peers

Killed the ego, lookin at these people like they're weird

Road trips, truned to head trips

Became a hunger for sedatives and essentric ettiqutes

Optimism needs to feed off self-esteem

But it seems that he doesn't see it or hasn't felt a thing

Records sell well but still undergound

Travels town to town

Holdin hands with fans that love his sound

When it comes to roundance hope he can enjoy it

Don't slow down momentum, afraid he might destroy it

When he stops to shake the hand, I doubt they understand

That he outstands only in the shadow of a man

Havin a hard time with life on a drumroll

Walkin that high-wire, passin it off is humble

But theres a thin line,between screams and smiles

Seen the miles, wishin he can go home & read to his child

But tonight's the last day, put the butt in the ashtray

Locked the door and slit both wrists backstage

Chorus: (2X)

[Outro: Slug]

Onwards,forwards continuance renaissance

Encore, ignorance wrapped inside of innocence

Onwards,forwards continuance renaissance

Encore, ignorance wrapped inside of innocence

Onwards,forwards continuance renaissance

Encore, ignorance wrapped inside of innocence

Nothing but love for the music and its offspring

Bouncin' off the boxsprings and tryin to make it to the crosses

I just might just....

I just might just....

I just might just....(fade out)
