[Verse 1] I got a whole damn world in my head, Some days it’s heaven, some days it’s dread. Grew up the clown with a genius spine, Laughing out loud just to hide what’s mine. Two older kings with their roles defined, I played the ghost with a burning mind. Dreams so big they don’t fit in my hands So I keep myself stuck in the Borderlands. [Chorus] I’m a Borderland boy with a heaven inside, And a hell that wakes up when I close my eyes. Yeah, I live in my mind more than I live my life, I’m a spark and a shadow both scared to shine. If I ever go all-in, I swear I could change, But I learned as a kid not to outrun my cage. Still I talk to the mirror like “one of these nights…” Borderland boy… step into the light. [Verse 2] I got a future I visit but never move in, A tower of floors I ain’t walked through since. Every dream feels close but a step too wide, Like I’m scared of the sky I was built inside. I joke with the world so they don’t see through, But my quietest thoughts always speak the truth. There’s a man I could be if I quit lookin’ back But the past got a habit of pullin’ me back. [Bridge] My potential’s a tower I stare from below, My shadow keeps askin’, “You ready to grow?” I got talent and trauma in equal supply A heaven, a hell, and a reason to try. [Outro] So if tomorrow finds me with a different plan, Maybe I’ll walk outta the Borderland. And if I fall back again, at least I’ll know why Every world that I live in lives behind my eyes.
