The Line Begins To Blur
The Line Begins To Blur (Beside You In Time)
"The Line Begins To Blur" is the eleventh track on the 2005 release With Teeth.
About
The last three songs on With Teeth describe the protagonists views of the world and the way things are going in it, i.e., the way he would like things to be going. On this track, He expresses how what he believed, along with that which he believed in, is changing, shooting off in radical directions. He speaks as if it was destined to be this way, as if he saw it coming all along. This song, along with Beside you in time song and Right Where It Belongs can almost be seen as a prequel to Halo 24, as they speak about corruption in man's heart, and the world changing, revealing something not before seen (The Line Begins To Blur definitely seems to lead up to the Resistance Theory, and Trent's struggle cooping with a world that has completely devolved around him, as the chorus says, "As Far As I Have Gone, To Know What Side I'm On, But Now I'm Not So Sure, The Line Begins To Blur..." All in all, a grungy set of verses coupled with a beautiful set of choruses and a harmonic ending combine to form a powerful and thought provoking piece of music.

Lyrics
There are things that I said I would never do There are fears that I cannot believe have come true For my soul is too sick and too little and too late And my self I have grown too weary to hate The more I stay in here The more it's not so clear The more I stay in here The more I disappear As far as I have gone I knew what side I'm on But now I'm not so sure The line begins to blur Is there somebody on top of me? I don't know, I don't know Isn't anybody stopping me? I don't know, I don't know Well I'm trying to hold my breath Just how far down can I go? I don't know, I don't know I don’t know As I lie here and stare The fabric starts to tear It's far beyond repair And I don't really care As far as I have gone I knew what side I'm on But now I'm not so sure The line begins to blur
