Lyrics

I need to get it off my chest
The evergrowing weight of dread
They say be free, I hesitate
'Cause everything feels so vain
I'm fixed by fear, by dread I'm bound
The sign is clear, the time is now
To get myself up and turn the page
But it's so tough, 'cause on some
 
Days like this I can hear voices telling me
You've only got so much to go
Hours spent in the mirror of scrutiny
Waiting for the lines to show
And I keep counting the days
Until I wither away, and I'll keep
Losing sleep over how my whole life has been
Running on borrowed time
 
I can't live by my impulsive heart
'Cause I'd need to get past my head to start
I fall at the first hurdle every time
I never learn and do the same thing each try
And every lap that those around me reach
Makes me sink deeper into grief
I step with care, making sure each one counts
And let despair increase the same amount
 
Days like this I can hear voices telling me
You've only got so much to go
Hours spent in the mirror of scrutiny
Waiting for the lines to show
And I keep counting the days
Until I wither away, and I'll keep
Losing sleep over how my whole life has been
Running on borrowed time
 
Borrowed time...
Borrowed time...
 
Borrowed time...
Borrowed time
