Greg Graffin - The Fault Line lyrics

The sun comes up with promise and
My eyes burn open wide
And the sting compounds the torture
From the vacant hole inside
My conscious recollection of the
Past events all seem
To verify the emotion that now envelops me

Dogged as a drone stagnant as the stone
Weathered and alone living on the fault line

There's no one here to listen
There's always room for more
They pretend to give you your say
Before they slam the door
There's very little patience and
Very little love
There's just your constant puzzlement for
What you're guilty of

Dogged as a drone stagnant as the stone


Weathered and alone living on the fault line

No one need deliver me from
Such a familiar place
I've come to terms and work
In this ribald downtrodden state
It's subliminal friction under a kind veneer
And a form of cold injustice
That keeps me stationed here

Dogged as a drone stagnant as the stone
Weathered and alone living on the fault line
Living on the fault line
Living on the fault line
