Little White Lies & Chalk Drawn Lines
I almost jumped off a building today, just for the fall
I didn’t do it because I was tired of it all
I wanted to live just for one little second
I wanted to feel just a little bit free,
Is that too much to ask just for me?
I don’t think it is;
They draw these chalk lines
And all the sudden these are our binds
I want to run; do something wrong
Not because I’m a rebel;
Not because I don’t care
I just don’t see how this confinement is fair
I’ll take the steps to the roof
Because this time I want the camera to see;
To see the proof
Sometimes it’s gonna rain, the lines will fade away
I promise you this you’re not winning the game
I play twice as well as your best;
If this was a betting game you’d invest
In me; the careless, the reckless, the restless
The one who jumps off buildings
Just to feel alive, just because this society is a lie
I’m not waiting anymore
I don’t even know what I was waiting for
This is a silly game of cat and mouse
But the fire in me is not one you can douse
They drew these chalk lines
All the sudden they became our binds
But they better wake up
Because this fairytale isn’t going to make up;
For the fact that some of us have ideas,
Some of us want to be heard
But you silly people think our actions are absurd
I’m taking the stairs, yeah I taking them real slow
I wanna see just how low you will go;
To keep all your little ducklings in a neat little line
How are you going to assure the citizens that everything’s fine?
I think I know the answer I know you won’t,
You’ll just run away and hide with all your cohorts
Well here I am, and I’ve brought some friends
This is where the false sunshine ends
You see, we’ve got these minds;
They’re like little bottles of water waiting to be opened
But the words and thoughts that come out of them
Aren’t going to be sanctioned
But we don’t mind because these aren’t our binds
We’re taking your little ducklings
Right out from under your feet
I’m jumping off the ledge its how I feel alive
Although I know half of you wouldn’t follow my dive
I didn’t do it because I was tired of it all
I wanted to live just for one little second
I wanted to feel just a little bit free,
Is that too much to ask just for me?
I don’t think it is;
They draw these chalk lines
And all the sudden these are our binds
I want to run; do something wrong
Not because I’m a rebel;
Not because I don’t care
I just don’t see how this confinement is fair
