(Verse 1)
I wake up in a war I can’t explain,
Heart heavy like it’s dragging broken chains.
One word from you, and I feel the flame,
Then I’m ice cold—rage, guilt, shame.
I love too fast, then I push away,
Say I hate you, but beg you to stay.
Every smile looks like a fake display,
I’m drowning in thoughts I can’t allay.
Don’t trust my mind, it flips the script,
Friends turn foes, then back real quick.
Mirror cracks, who the hell is this?
I lose myself when emotions hit.
(Hook)
Borderlines in my mind, I’m barely holdin’ the line,
Feelin’ like a villain, but I’m dyin’ inside.
This ain’t mood swings—it’s soul collapse,
Like I’m trapped in a loop I can’t ever unwrap.
Borderlines—don’t tell me to “just chill,”
When the silence alone could get me killed.
This is pain with a pretty disguise,
Welcome to the horror show behind my eyes.
(Verse 2)
People say I’m too much, say I’m toxic,
But they don’t know what it’s like in this cockpit.
I feel too deep, love turns caustic,
Every goodbye feels like a coffin.
I split black and white, no shade of grey,
You’re my savior or you’re throwin’ me away.
I hate the way I beg and plead to stay,
Then ghost you cold the very next day.
Impulse-driven, I crash and burn,
Self-hate’s a lesson I didn’t have to learn.
Look in the mirror, want a face to return,
But all I see is scars that churn.
(Hook)
Borderlines in my mind, I’m barely holdin’ the line,
Feelin’ like a villain, but I’m dyin’ inside.
This ain’t mood swings—it’s soul collapse,
Like I’m trapped in a loop I can’t ever unwrap.
Borderlines—don’t tell me to “just chill,”
When the silence alone could get me killed.
This is pain with a pretty disguise,
Welcome to the horror show behind my eyes.
(Bridge)
Don’t tell me to calm down—I’m already screaming.
Don’t tell me I’m loved—I don’t believe in meaning.
I got memories that bleed, thoughts that deceive,
And a heart that don’t know how to leave or grieve.
They say healing’s a path, but I walk it alone,
With a voice in my head that cuts to the bone.
You see drama—I see survival mode,
You see unstable—I see a heart that’s cold.
(Outro)
So if you ever feel like you’re too far gone,
Like the light in your chest is completely withdrawn—
Know this: even broken souls write songs,
And the loudest cries sometimes come out calm.
Borderlines—it’s a war I fight,
But I’m still here, still standin’ tonight.
Borderlines—ain’t no shame in the scars,
It just means we’ve lived through a thousand wars
