The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Draw the Line

say the words
lance this wound
cut me and watch me bleed
make it indelible
so there is no going back
draw the line

I thought I could
but I know I was wrong
I've tried too many times
it's gone too far, I'm in too deep
my mind's lies are my heart's truth
draw the line

there aren't any songs of forever
no miracles of love lost and found
just rainy days and blues hanging low
deliverance from this pain won't ever come
unless you draw the line
