Borrowed

Some things are stolen

It doesn't have to be golden

Just a few words spoken

An all seeing omen.

They stole my tomorrows

I steal no borrow

A worn down shadow

I still wear the afterglow

I just want a little hope

No need for a scarlet envelope

I’ll keep it under a microscope

Never let it go, nope

It’ll be borrowed

Meet me at the crossroads

I’ll pay back what's owed

I’ll be back after this major depressive episode.

I’ll never give this back

I never see in white or black

I lead a pack you just can’t track

All I’ll ever be is a setback.

Don’t trust me, I lie

Everyone’s afraid to die

Sometimes I forget what it's like to cry

But trust me, I’m never the bad guy.

Meet me in a black alley

This is my last finale

This won’t be your end, sadly

This won’t end happy, gladly

I’m on a suicidal rant

Just a unbelievable chant

I was just sent to enchant

I can win, I can’t

My last words are a song

Quick, my legacy won’t last long

I just wanted to say that you were wrong

I didn’t really belong.

It’ll be borrowed

I found the cheat code

I took the short road

Just before I explode.

Taking the short road isn't always the right way or the safe one. Sometimes it's the only road.
