**These Lines**-Andrew C.

"The Lines"

Can these lies, these lies
wait out these lines?
can these lies, these lies
wait out our lives?

now through the window we see it's raining
and we're stuck inside
our days just passing us by
we've played all our games
still outside it rains.
there's nothing on the television
our lives are slipping

can these lies, these lies
wait out these lines?
cna these lies, these lies
wait out our lives?

with articulation we follow through
on all the things we never promised to do
and some how we've pulled through everything
not a scratch on you
everything piled on me
still outside it pours.
and we stay inside closed doors

inside where the heat keeps us warm
no water to soak our bones
inside where the walls are speaking,
always with the wind, creaking.
still outside it pours.
and we're trapped indoors

can these lies, these lies
wait out these lines?
can these lies, these lies
wait out our lives?

each drop is something, everything more
the lies that we hold indoors
all the things we try not to say
thats what it's raining
each drop a broken promise,
a life of everything without you,
the lies i hid from every ones view,
now they're pouring down around us.

cand your eyes, your eyes
ever forgive this fool?
can your heart, your heart
ever forgive this fool too?

cause my heart pains for the rain
at least then you'd see
everything we hold back
everything that pains me
and in this prison we live in,
the doors locks will be opened
then maybe we can be free
