[INTRO] [Distorted electric guitar] [Slow bass notes] [USER VOICE ONLY: Natural male vocal, intimate and conversational] Every morning starts the same. You wake up. You get up. You get on with it. And somehow another day is gone. [Distorted guitar slowly enters] [VERSE 1] [Moderate thrash riff] Another morning Another cup Another promise I'll get around to it Another deadline Another excuse Another hour I didn't use We say tomorrow Like it's guaranteed We put things off For things we don't need Then one day You look behind And wonder where You spent your time [PRE-CHORUS] [Drums build] We count the years We count the days But never count The ones we waste [CHORUS] [FULL BAND] [USER VOICE ONLY: Strong melodic shouted vocal] BORROWED TIME EVERY SECOND'S PASSING BORROWED TIME NOTHING LASTS FOREVER WE HOLD ON LIKE WE OWN IT ALL BUT EVERY CLOCK IS COUNTING DOWN BORROWED TIME AND WE NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH [VERSE 2] [Fast downpicked riff] Work until midnight Sleep until noon Tell ourselves We'll make a change soon People we love We swear we'll call Then weeks disappear Without a word at all We chase the money We chase the next thing We keep on running And forget what it means To stop for a minute And look around At everything living That we've already found [PRE-CHORUS] [Increasing drum intensity] We count the years We count the days But never count The ones we waste [CHORUS] [FULL BAND] BORROWED TIME EVERY SECOND'S PASSING BORROWED TIME NOTHING LASTS FOREVER WE HOLD ON LIKE WE OWN IT ALL BUT EVERY CLOCK IS COUNTING DOWN BORROWED TIME AND WE NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH [INSTRUMENTAL] [Fast thrash riff] [Driving bass] [Extended melodic guitar solo] [Twin-guitar harmony] [Drums push into double-time] [BRIDGE] [Tempo drops to heavy mid-tempo] Maybe tomorrow I'll make that call. Maybe next week I'll fix it all. Maybe there's time For everything. Maybe there isn't. [Silence] That's the part Nobody knows. [BUILD] [Floor toms] [Single guitar notes becoming a full riff] So stop waiting. Stop saying someday. If it matters... Make it matter today. [Full band crashes in] [FINAL VERSE] [Full-speed thrash] I don't need forever I just need enough Enough for the people Enough for the things That actually mean something The clock keeps moving I can't make it stop But I can decide What I do with what's left [FINAL CHORUS] [MAXIMUM INTENSITY] [USER VOICE ONLY] BORROWED TIME EVERY SECOND'S PASSING BORROWED TIME NOTHING LASTS FOREVER WE HOLD ON LIKE WE OWN IT ALL BUT EVERY CLOCK IS COUNTING DOWN BORROWED TIME SO DON'T THROW IT AWAY BORROWED TIME MAKE IT COUNT WHILE YOU CAN [OUTRO] [Fast riff gradually strips down] [Clean guitar returns] [USER VOICE ONLY: Quiet, natural] Tomorrow isn't promised. But right now... I'm still here. [Single guitar note] [Silence]
