Borderline

This time I run away
To my own town
Somewhere out of state
The tree lines are my barricade
They keep away
All my bad faith
And my trauma's like the leaves
Changing with every season
Dormant when I sleep
Rampant as the sun hits my skin
This miry clay
Look, when dawn breaks

And you always try
But you do me wrong
And you always hide
When the drink's too strong
I wish I could say goodbye
Watched you quit on your only child
Left me here to put out your fire
I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline

Tell me
The safe word
Cuz' I got none for you, yeah
A constant threat
Been my childhood bayonet
Out of anger, stretched
Your hands
Again
Ran out of patience
Again
Made this home a skeleton
(In the end)

And you always try
But you do me wrong
And you always hide
When the drink's too strong
I wish I could say goodbye
Watched you quit on your only child
Left me here to put out your fire
I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline

And it's raining in the streets
In the city of crooked lines
And everything you need
Is strangled in its vines
And there's blood still on the walls
But a writing in the sky
That no matter what you done
There's still another chance to fly
And it's raining in the streets
In the city of crooked lines
And everything you need
Was strangled in its vines
And there's blood still on the walls
But a writing in the sky
That no matter what you've done
Still another chance to fly
Another chance to fly
Still another chance to fly

(And it's raining in the streets)
(In the city of crooked lines)
(And everything you need)
(Is strangled in its vines)
(There's blood still on the walls)
(But a writing in the sky)
(That no matter what you've done)
(Still another chance to fly)

(And it's raining in the streets)
(In the city of crooked lines)
(And everything you need)
(Was strangled in its vines)
(There's blood still on the walls)
(But a writing in the sky)
(That no matter what you've done)
(Still another chance to fly)

Still another chance to fly
I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
