"A Line" original song by Kari Fleskes by KariFleskes

Another cold hotel room,
on another restless night;
And the demons in my shadow
are never far behind.

Another broken bottle
has ripped apart the seam.
There's glass here that I walk on,
but I don't feel a thing.

(Chorus:)
I drew a line to show me where I been,
so that when I fall, I can find my way up again.
I drew a line, but tripped a thousand times,
just to scatter all my pieces, losing too much time.
I drew a line.

I zip my heart in a suitcase,
and walk another mile,
feeling just as empty
as a cloudless Tennessee sky.

So I pour all my confessions
into some secret place.
Well, I ought to pray to something,
but I just don't know what to say.

(Repeat Chorus)

That stranger on the sidewalk said it all;
When you're drunk on the memories, nothing is good 'til it's gone.

(Repeat Chorus)
