Parallel Lines

‘Til death do us part, at birth from the start

There’s a swell in my heart that you can’t tear apart

Even when the world’s gone dark we bear witness

To strength underneath of the stress

A self-religion that we all have

Some call it animalistic

A lion in the face of defeat turns to existence

When self-preservation is sweeping across the nation

We need a congregation and this is my public statement

Chorus 1

I’m walking down parallel lines

Trying to break out this time

I’m in it for the fight

Everything’s fine

I’m having the time of my life

Walking on parallel lines

Not afraid of dying, I’m a lion

Verse 2

It comes as no surprise as we’re facing our demise

We need to look inside and finally recognize that

We’re human, yes, but we don’t have to accept

This level of self-regret I’m trying to self-reflect

I’m pent up in my cage I can waste away these days

Or I can spend these moments developing higher faith

In myself and my friends, my parents and my siblings

There is no better time I’m trying to say this simply

Chorus 2

I’m walking down parallel lines

Trying to break out this time

I’m in it for the fight

Everything’s fine

I’m having the time of my life

Walking on parallel lines

Not afraid of dying, I’m a lion

Bridge

Some days I can barely wait

Just to walk through Heaven’s gates

I close my eyes and contemplate a land that’s far away

Where many come and many go

When will we leave? We never know

Our names are written on a stone

So, we won’t pass alone

Outro

When I pass leave my casket open

And send it out to the ocean

I just want to feel alive with the motion,

I just want to feel alive with the motion
