The Fault Line Lyrics - Singles - American Lesion

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
