Slaine, Louis Bell, Checkmark - Borrowed Time lyrics

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 habit's
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

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

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

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

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

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
