You crossed the line I drew to keep myself away from you...
You said to me: "Hey listen man,
I came up with a flawless plan."
I said to you: "Get off my back!
You won't convince me to turn black.”
You bathe me in torrid frustration
I can't resist the dull temptation
I must give in, I can't I can't
oh, does it matter in the end?
Your word spreads like a mind-disease
my good intentions fade with ease
I'm trapped inside this house of cards
while you grow lilies in the yard
you drag me down, straight to hell
swore to myself I'd never crack
now look at me, I can't go back
I won't forgive you what you did
you are a bottomless pit
Your word spreads like a mind-disease
my good intentions fade with ease
I'm trapped inside this house of cards
while you grow lilies in the yard
you drag me down, straight to hell
looks can be deceiving, they mess with your head
we don't look alike, still our blood is red
looks can be deceiving, oh you would know
but I can't make out the difference between friend and foe
You crossed the line I drew to keep myself away from you...
