Someone get the light

Someone get a match and strike it bright

I just need to see it with my eyes

I just need the violence minimized

Drank a bit too much again tonight

The animosity I have is taking over me

And it's not to sober me

[Katherine Ho]

But now I'm drawing thicker lines

Go around tell your friends I don't mind

The war we been fighting ain't black and white

Now we're facing our crimes

I'm doing my time

I'm drawing thicker lines

You know I've been walking the same roads you fenced me in

I shouldn't have been there

You knew it then

Casualties pile in the evening


[DEMIE]

I see too many faces

Been to too many places

I get so fucking anxious

I'm going through the phases

And it's, yuh, it's all a blur

Going 'round digging up dirt

Red and blue - on high alert

I'm angry, but it's not over

You're here to divert

You know I hope you got something worth fighting for

I hope you got opportunities lining up on your door

You know what they say

"I hope you always find love

I hope you always come up"

But truthfully, I hope you fail at all those things up above

[Katherine Ho]

But now I'm drawing thicker lines

Go around tell your friends I don't mind

The war we been fighting ain't black and white

Now we're facing our crimes

I'm doing my time

I'm drawing thicker lines

You know I've been walking the same roads you fenced me in

I shouldn't have been there

You knew it then

Casualties pile in the evening


[DEMIE]

It's never enough, it's never enough

Standing up on rooftops, but I can't se above

Sleeping with the ghosts, you just gotta brush off the dust

It's not enough, it's not enough

Nuh

[Katherine Ho]

But now I'm drawing thicker lines

Go around tell your friends I don't mind

The war we been fighting ain't black and white

Now we're facing our crimes

I'm doing my time

I'm drawing thicker lines

You know I've been walking the same roads you fenced me in

I shouldn't have been there

You knew it then

Casualties pile in the evening
