Analysis of Lines Rule
A line in the dirt
It stops us dead in our tracks
Before we make our everyday mistakes
Grainy, muddy and effective
A line set in our minds
Tempted to cross before it's to late
The feeling of fluster
Invisible, stressful and confusing
A line set by superiors
Holding us back from greatness
Pushing to the edge till mother superior cracks
Intense, fearful and sheltered
Lines rule our life in better & worse
