A Line of Madness

from Unbecoming by Jessica Grace

subscriber exclusive

lyrics

Pills, bottles and ash
Lined up, uniform
No slips ups
No colloquialism
At your command, sir
Until we fall over

And there is a line of madness...

I dreamt my sister was addicted
And I hate confrontation
And the refusal
Don't think I don't know what's attractive
Sweetheart I know it's not me
But it could be

And there is a line of madness...
Clear as day
Closer than the horizon
But still
Far away

I'd love to be the one smoking the cigar
At ground zero
But Mr Waters as you know well
I'm the one who'll run like hell
A shadow of nothing
An imaginary cell
A small girl
You never knew that well
You know I'm the one
Who'll run like hell

And there is a line of madness...
Clear as day
Closer than the horizon
But still
Far away

From rags to riches
Into white trash
Lined up
No uniform
Plenty of slip-ups
Listening to received pronunciation of slang
Mr Waters you know
They're the brave girls who never ever ran

And there is a line of madness...
Clear as day
Closer than the horizon
But still
Far away
