SLAINE - Borrowed Time lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Chorus] And it all just slips away 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 [Chorus] And it all just slips away 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 f**k is wrong What's wrong is everything is real in these f**ing 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 demeanor, 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 Worshiped like I'm Jesus by some but look at this cross I'm nailed to [Chorus] And it all just slips away
