The Borderline Lyrics

You were never one to sink down slowly

I'm asleep in the tunnels in your mind

You trip over me in the dark night

And my shoulders only bare feathers

Be prepared for my own weather

Drop that knife from your hand

The mountains are coming again

You're banging on my eardrums

Start digging down that valley you're in

You'll never walk on solid ground

I'll make sure of it while I'm around

Hold on to that ceiling

Painted with every shred of what you're feeling

I'll cut you down

I'll make sure of it while I'm around

The arches and adrenaline

Try animal, try stone and tin

You've taken too much again

Cold tile and spilled chemicals

I see them dripping from your eyes

I can't even dry them with lies

You'll never walk on solid ground

I'll make sure of it while I'm around

Hold on to that ceiling

Painted with every shred of what you're feeling

Now she's screaming

"Don't you ever think I'm tired of being sick sometimes?"

But she only built one switch in her mind

Go on, take that step over the trench

Soon in the sun you'll be drenched

You'll never walk on solid ground

I'll make sure of it while I'm around

Hold on to that ceiling

Painted with every shred of what you're feeling

No, not while I'm around

Not while I'm around

Two steps forward, five steps back

Pick one side of the borderline

You're under attack
