Borderline

You looked normal with your mouth shut

Almost human in your sleep

But the waking hours destroyed you

(Sometimes your feelings ran too deep)

Your thoughts grow loud (you’re crossing the border)

You try to hold them in (you’re crossing the line)

You in love is where the pain begins

(You’re crossing the borderline)

Run through the rooms

Bang the walls, kick the doors

Light up the gloom

Keep your hand off the pause

Friends keeping tabs -

You just say that you’re fine

They’re watching you slip

Across the fragile borderline

Stepping out (you’re crossing the border)

In the evening din (you’re crossing the line)

You in love is where the pain begins

(You’re crossing the borderline)
