Across the Line (Unreleased Demo 2007) [Extended]
[Extended Intro]
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
In this desert, in darkness
Lying with the gun across his chest
Pretending he's heartless
As the fire flashes in the sky
He was fragile and frozen
When the bullet took away his friend
And now he's somehow more broken
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
He's pulling his weapon to his side
Loading it full of his goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
He's pulling his weapon to his side
Loading it full of his goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
Sweating and shaking
Lying with her hands across her chest
She wakes with her cravings
As the fire flashes in her eye
She was fragile and frozen
When the needle took away her friend
But now she's somehow more broken
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
She's pulling her weapon to her side
Loading it full of her goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
She's pulling her weapon to her side
Loading it full of her goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
[Post-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
With every battle he's chosing
With every fight he's losing
His enemy's not far behind
With every promise she's broken
With every lie she's spoken
Her enemy's not far behind
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
It's your time
It's your time
It's your time
It's your time!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
He's pulling his weapon to his side
Loading it full of his goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
She's pulling her weapon to her side
Loading it full of her goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
[Outro: Chester Bennington]
With every battle he's chosing
With every fight he's losing
His enemy's not far behind
With every promise she's broken
With every lie she's spoken
Her enemy's not far behind
