Draw the Line (Reforged and Remastered)

[Verse 1] I'd flinch out of habit When he slammed the bedroom door Every echo in that house Had a way of keeping score Backhands in shadowed halls His ring cutting my young cheek All that buried anger calls With my tongue between my teeth [Pre-Chorus] But I am not that storm Pouring rain Now I stand strong Hands shake But they stay open This is where the chain gets broken [Chorus] I feel the fire climb But I draw the line Let it burn in my lungs Not in your eyes I take the burden handed down Lay it gently on the ground I won't turn into the damage I survived I feel the fire climb But I draw the line [Verse 2] You say, "I'm fine" too fast Glass in every word We both walk around the shards Like it’s all that we deserve I taste iron on my tongue All the things I could say Every bitter, little pill Like bullets on Bastille Day [Pre-Chorus 2] But I won't load that gun I breathe slow I bite my tongue I choose the bruise of silence Over easy Careless violence [Chorus 2] I feel the fire climb But I draw the line Let it burn in my lungs Not in your eyes I take the burden handed down Lay it gently on the ground I won't turn into the damage I survived [Bridge] I’m not your judge Won't be your excuse I’m the one who feels the urge But still won't turn it loose I’m scared I’ll slip I’m scared I’ll fold But fear’s the very place A different story holds [Final Chorus] I feel the fire climb But I draw the line Let it burn in my lungs Not in your eyes I take the burden handed down Lay it gently on the ground I won't pass on to you the damage I survived I feel the fire climb But I draw the line [Outro] I feel the fire climb But I draw the line
