LYRICS:
I brought the lessons that you taught,
from the battles that you never fought.
From the high cost of losing the plot but all is not lost
as long as you've got some time left on this stopwatch.
I stalk the sidewalks that line these chaotic city blocks
of this town that's an awful lot like the one where you were dropped off.
I can only hope that you don't say no
if you can find someone willing to throw you a rope,
take hold and don't let go.
Don't you know that the road you walk alone
is never paved with gold, it's paved with stone
and leads you right back to the place that you've outgrown.
It's time that you were told something you should've learned long ago.
It's time that you were told something you should've learned long ago:
Never stop searching for the right kind of person
who's certain it's worth it to never stop working
and never let up until the closing curtain.

Choose your side, I've chosen mine; It's a fine line between wrong and right.
Choose your side, I've chosen mine; It's a fine line. 

So who's with me? We'll need to act quickly.
You can bet that this'll get pretty damn risky. 
But that's the way it's always been and always will be
for anyone who tries to rewrite history,
for anyone who rejects destiny,
ultimately, it's on us if we fail to succeed.
There were thousands of soldiers who lost their composure
looking over their shoulders, too scared to move closer.
So scrutinize the look in their eyes before you invite them inside,
otherwise when you finally ride to the front lines,
you'll turn around and look behind only to find
there's no one in sight who's willing to fight.

Choose your side, I've chosen mine; it's a fine line between wrong and right.
Choose your side, I've chosen mine; it's a fine line.

If you're ravenous you'll need some accomplices,
if you hope to accomplish the one thing you promised. 
Keep you honest, keep you honest.

Choose your side, I've chosen mine; it's a fine line between wrong and right.
Choose your side, I've chosen mine; It's a fine line.
