Borrowed Time

Broken dreams, I 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 glitter and gold
Before the 'caine spots, before the overdoses and aimed Glocks
Before my name popped, before the Navigator rain drops
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 could 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 'til 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

Broken dreams, I 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
And it all just slips away

I'm a man among boys that avoid they own truths
Always down to hang out, afraid of they own noose
No phone booth, can't change an ugly face
Tough, stand tall, then we duck when we got a 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 vacay is 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'ma stand strong when I move on, holla at me

Broken dreams, I 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
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, dawg
All around the globe, so they ask what the fuck is wrong
What's wrong is everything is real in these fucking songs
Sometimes I wish there 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 and chopped powder
The blame belongs to me, this game is not ours though

Made me from the dirt, then the flowers grow
I'm 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 kinda crazy, once upon a time I was just my mama's baby
Look at how this ice cold winter went and made me
Winter went and gave me icy cold demeanor
Slightly frozen, 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 always been a leader
I wish I had some inspirational speech to read ya

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

Broken dreams, I 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
