This is a (very) rough version of a song I’ve been working on imaginitively titled “On the Borderline” ~ which is, surprisingly enough, themed on Borderline Personality Disorder.

It’s only a first draft …

Comments welcome :)

Lyrics

Standing close to the edge of the world there’s a bittersweet infinity
Where the darkness speaks of the rest in peace for the souls who fell asleep
Familiar claws pierce into my skin as the rush of fear overwhelms me,
I am alone, I am torn open again

And I’m looking into the mirror now
See a stranger staring back at me
There’s no light or sound, no~one else around
To hear you scream in the silence
I am gasping for air, I am dying for peace
I am begging you please don’t abandon me
As the blood and saltwater flows …
Here on the borderline, on the borderline
On the borderline

You watch me slowly unravel to the floor as the world stops turning
Fragments borne of the shattered self too small to piece back together again
Through the hazy mist of tears hasty glances
Walking by now rustling papers to drown out the sound
Of the girl going crazy and losing the will to live
