Borrowed Time - Slaine

Broken dreams I’ll follow mine

To the end of my borrowed time

I’ve been walking down this road too long

Got my bags packed and I hit the door

Then I make a stop at the liquor store

Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong

Yeah, through the fights, drama, and heartbreak yeah the winter is cold

I put my faith in the forgiveness, every sinner is owed

Flashback when we was teens, just beginning the road

Before the lights, camera, and action and the glittering gold

Before the ‘caine spots, before the overdoses and aimed Glocks

Before my name popped, before the Navigator raindrops

Before I started back with the bad habits, I can’t stop

I said I’d keep going, told you I can’t stop

And that’s what made me who I am, but it did us in

You can never see through the clouds my head is in

I was sick and got addicted to my medicine

I was a prick, I kept on kicking 'till they let us in

And once they let me in the door it was war

With the world I was sure couldn’t go back to before

Ever since we were kids they said we shouldn’t mix

And at the end we broke something that we couldn’t fix

I’m a man among boys that avoid their own truths

Always down to hang out, afraid of their own noose

No phone booth, can’t change an ugly face

Tough stand tall then we duck when we gotta chase

Making up excuses but it’s all useless

When I blame you for the damage that my youth did

Throwing up the deuces, easier to run away

Knowing that the rain’s always followed by a sunny day

But a vaca’s just a break from reality

Chasing a fallacy back then you’re mad at me

Casually acting like we don’t see the elephant

In the room but our friends all see the hell we been through

And we know a truce is irrelevant

Rip my heart out of my body, there’s still a skeleton

My skull and bones represent a throne

I’mma stand strong when I move on, holla at me

I used to have nothing at all but my word and my balls

It’s the same thing that took me from nothing dog

All around the globe till they asked what the fuck is wrong

What’s wrong is everything is real in these fucking songs

Sometimes I was it was an image to hop out of

And back into, maybe a gimmick to rock crowds with

But it’s all the truth and it’s something I’m not proud of

Everything I’ve done but I can’t just opt out of

The pain I have caused, the ‘caine, the chopped powder

The blame belongs to me, this game is not ours though

Maybe from the dirt then the flowers grow

Up amongst the weeds since a youngster greed

Agreed with every need that I need and so the speed

Will eventually just not be fast enough for me

It’s kind of crazy, once upon a time I was just my momma’s baby

Look at how this ice cold winter when it made me

When it when it gave me icy cold demeanour,?

meaner

Wifey throws me out, I love her, I need her

What else can I do except go drink another liter?

I’m not a follower, I’ve always been a leader

I wish I had some inspirational speech to read you

But I don’t, I’m just a failure

Worshipped like I’m Jesus by some but look at this cross I’m nailed to
