Lyrics
Living On A Knife Edge
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.
Everytime I go out, I think I'm bring checked out,
Faceless people watching on a TV screen
Do you begin to sense it, just beneath the surface
Reflections of a window whilst walking down the street
Computers are abused, school records are fed
Police are checking on what you said
The number of your car's fed into a box
Your journey's being checked, it's a paradox
Duplicate forms, and ID cards are next in line to disregard
Future generations are relying on us
It's a world we've made - Incubus
We're living on a knife edge, looking for the ground
