sometimes in my bed at night
i curse the dark and i pray for the light
and sometimes the lights no consolation
blinded by a memory
afraid of what it might do to me
the tears of the sweat only mark my desperation
don't you know me i'm the boy next door
the one you find so easy to ignore
is that what i was fighting for
walking on a thin line
straight off the front line
label the streets loose on the streets of the city
walking on a thin line
angry all the time
take a look in my face see what it's doing to me
taught me how to shoot to kill
a specialist with a deadly skill
a skill i needed to have to be a survivor
it's over now so they say
sometimes you don't work out that way
but you're never the same when you've been under fire
don't you know me i'm the boy next door
the one you found so easy to ignore
is that what i was fighting for
walking on a thin line
straight out the front line
label the streets loose on the streets of the city
walking on a thin line
angry all the time
take a look at my face see what it's done to me
don't you know me i'm the boy next door
the one you found so easy to ignore
is that what i was fighting for
no walking on a thin line
straight off the front line
labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
walking on a thin line
angry all the time
take a look at my face
see what it's doing to me
walking on a thin line
walking on a thin line
walking on a thin line
