you walk the borderline through day and night
these are the duties you cannot reject
fear of rejection forces you to fight

defection from each cause is not your right
you'll face the reasons liars must confect
you walk the borderline through day and night

the problem's always that you are too bright
to know the horrors that you must connect
fear of rejection forces you to fight

the choice is never that of simple flight
a lie's the thing that others will reflect
you walk the borderline through day and night

out of the shadow come the teeth that bite
you learn from birth to fear their dire effect
fear of rejection forces you to fight

this is the law that you have learned to write
that you alone must find marks of respect
you walk the borderline through day and night
fear of rejection forces you to fight
