Draw The Line ~ Poetry / Lyrics ~ Mobius∆Tripz

You draw the line, I cross it slow

The room turns cold, the red marks show

I know the cost, I know the name

Still I walk straight through the flame

You set the terms in ink and stone

I learn the weight, then make it known

Each measured step, each choice I claim

I leave your ledger all the same

I won't be buried under your blame

I won't be broken into the same

Hold your verdict, keep your crown

I am still here, I won't bow down

You can press your seal into the page

You cannot cage what won't obey

Say my name and shut me out

I am still here, I won't bow down

You can leave the door wide open

I won't follow where you go

What you took is yours to answer

What remains is mine to hold

I have carried what was given

I have set down what was owed

Keep the key and keep the question

I choose the road I walk alone

[Verse]

You draw the line, I cross it slow

The room turns cold, the red marks show

I know the cost, I know the name

Still I walk straight through the flame

You set the terms in ink and stone

I learn the weight, then make it known

Each measured step, each choice I claim

I leave your ledger all the same

[Chorus]

I won't be buried under your blame

I won't be broken into the same

Hold your verdict, keep your crown

I am still here, I won't bow down

You can press your seal into the page

You cannot cage what won't obey

Say my name and shut me out

I am still here, I won't bow down

[Outro]

You can leave the door wide open

I won't follow where you go

What you took is yours to answer

What remains is mine to hold

I have carried what was given

I have set down what was owed

Keep the key and keep the question

I choose the road I walk alone
