[Verse 1] Wake up and I'm already in the red Yesterday's bill came due at dawn Everything borrowed put me in debt Three days in bed just to carry on Open my eyes and start the tally Know I'm bankrupt before I rise Another morning in the valley Of debt that never dies [Chorus] I'm borrowing from tomorrow Stealing time I'll never own Tomorrow's me will pay the price For everything I can't postpone I'm borrowing from tomorrow And I'm sinking like a stone [Verse 2] Obligations stacking up like invoices Life won't wait while I recharge Have to make impossible choices Spend what I don't have to pay the charge Calculate the cost of showing up today Versus hiding until I recover But some things I just can't delay So I rob one day for another [Chorus] I'm borrowing from tomorrow Stealing time I'll never own Tomorrow's me will pay the price For everything I can't postpone I'm borrowing from tomorrow And I'm sinking like a stone [Bridge - Angry, defiant] They don't understand this cost Don't see the ledger that I keep "Just push through, it wont exhaust" Easy when your well runs deep I wish I could save instead of spending Wish I had surplus I could lend To the future version that keeps paying For choices that never end But wishes don't make deposits And hope won't clear my name Tomorrow's coming to claim the profit And the balance stays the same [Verse 3] Tomorrow came and took its payment Days of darkness, days of rest Withdrawing from the world for containment Hibernating at debt's request Lying still to let accounts rebound Every borrowed moment claimed Watch the interest compound While I recover, drained and maimed [Chorus] I'm borrowing from tomorrow Stealing time I'll never own Tomorrow's me will pay the price For everything I can't postpone I'm borrowing from tomorrow And I'm sinking like a stone [Outro] Maybe someday I'll have extra Maybe I can save and store Lend my future self some credit Instead of always keeping score One day I'll break even One day I'll be ahead But until then I'm borrowing Just to get out of bed (Borrowing... borrowing...) One day I'll lend instead (Tomorrow... tomorrow...) Until then, I'm drowning in the debt [END]
