the truth can be infectious
but only if you're aligned
best to keep you uninformed
to nudge along your decline

i can plant a story
that pulls you to my side
there's nothing wrong with deception
as long as you are blind

if can want to
you can try to
but it's over when I draw the line

you can break me
you can't take me
and it's over when I draw the line

stress causes a breakdown
loose latches get me inside
let me toy with perception
and add a little more pride

I pull your strings you puppet
you dance from side to side
you're unaware of what your facing
and your soul's along for the ride

this aint no breakdown
i can't be dragged down
this game is over when i draw the line

get behind me
you can't have me
I'm on to you and I draw the line

I've got a sense of detection
That tells me of a misdirection
and flex a muscle of rejection
down on my knees for protection
There is a truth that can be found
That keeps your feet on solid ground
and when you're traveling outbound
you will be heaven bound
