Sometimes in my bed at night
I curse the dark
and I pray for the light
And sometimes the light's
no consolation
Blinded by a memory
Afraid of what it might do to me
And the tears and the sweat
only mock my desperation
Don't you know me
I'm the boy next door
The one you find
so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fightin' for
Walkin' on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
loose on the streets of the city
Walkin' on a thin line
Angry all the time
Take a look at my face
See what it's doin' to me
Taught me how to shoot to kill
A specialist with a deadly skill
A skill I needed to have
to be a survivor
It's over now so they say
Well sometimes it don't
work out that way
'Cause you're never
the same when you've been
under fire
Don't you know me
I'm the boy next door
The one you find
so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fightin' for
Walkin' on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
loose on the streets of the city
Walkin' on a thin line
Angry all the time
Take a look at my face
See what it's done to me
Don't you know me
I'm the boy next door
The one you find
so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fightin' for no
Walkin' on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
loose on the streets of the city
Walkin' on a thin line
Angry all the time
Take a look at my face
See what it's doin' to me
Walkin' on a thin line
Walkin' on a thin line
Walkin' on a thin line
