Borderlines Lyrics
Falling like a hammer
On a solitary arc
It struck a nail
Now we'll never be apart
Just a shadow on the wall
And I curse the ground beneath my feet
Curse the boiling sea
Curse the stars above my head
Staring back at me
Damn the whip that cracked and split
Damn the hand behind it
Wait for me
By my gallows pole
Hang around
I won't be long
Borderline
Get me out alive
When it rains
I am right where I belong
I'm sorry but the voice
Inside my head, won't let me go
I know you won't forgive me
For the things you'll never know
Come back to me sweet Armageddon
Hurry up and find me
Wait for me
By the iron rail
Hold on
Borderline
Get me out of line
When it rains
I am right where I belong
Across the borderline
The architect stunned by his design
I never fell so hard
You'll be the axe... I'm your hesitation marks
Borderline
Gets me out alive
When it rains
Boy, it really rains
On a solitary arc
It struck a nail
Now we'll never be apart
Just a shadow on the wall
Curse the boiling sea
Curse the stars above my head
Staring back at me
Damn the hand behind it
By my gallows pole
Hang around
I won't be long
Get me out alive
When it rains
I am right where I belong
Inside my head, won't let me go
I know you won't forgive me
For the things you'll never know
Come back to me sweet Armageddon
Hurry up and find me
By the iron rail
Hold on
Get me out of line
When it rains
I am right where I belong
The architect stunned by his design
I never fell so hard
You'll be the axe... I'm your hesitation marks
Gets me out alive
When it rains
Boy, it really rains

Throughout this psychedelic track singer-guitarist John Baizley belts shadowy lyrics about being haunted by his demons. I think these are personal demons that he's struggling to defeat in order to start anew.
