[Intro]
One piano key
Keeps falling
Tick, tick
Inside my skull
[Verse 1]
I watch the clock eat years
Like teeth through paper thin
My hands still full of plans
But the day already wins
Punch out, drag back in
Same face in the mirror stare
The road just keeps on folding
And I’m running nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it slip
Through my blood, through my skin
Every damn second
Pulling harder from within
If I slow down now
I might finally hear it crack
But the world keeps screaming
“Go on, don’t look back”
[Chorus]
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
I’m losing my mind
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
No end in sight
I’m tearing through the same old fire
Trying not to drown in the grind
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
Time leaves me behind
[Verse 2]
Coffee-stained mornings
Boots on the cold floor
Lifeless little victories
I keep begging for more
Faces in a blur
All racing for the prize
Everybody’s starving
With a blaze behind their eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it slip
Through my blood, through my skin
Every damn second
Pulling harder from within
If I slow down now
I might finally hear it crack
But the world keeps screaming
“Go on, don’t look back”
[Chorus]
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
I’m losing my mind
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
No end in sight
I’m tearing through the same old fire
Trying not to drown in the grind
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
Time leaves me behind
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
When did the days get teeth?
When did my name get thin?
I built my life on motion
Now I can’t live in it
Take this pressure off my chest
Or let it split me clean in two
If I’m gonna break tonight
I’m breaking through to you
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
I’m losing my mind
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
No end in sight
I’m screaming for a little mercy
In a machine that never signs
Borrowed hours
Borrowed hours
Time leaves me behind
[Outro]
One piano key
Still falling
And I’m still here
Still crawling
