“BORDERLINE”
music and lyrics by James M. MacKay
​
Remember the way we said we'd conquer it all
With a strength of conviction every mountain would fall
Sometimes this maze of life is too complex
I don't think your heart is getting out of this
But it doesn't have to be the end
Surrender the fight admit you need a hand.
The method in your madness was always the same
Do whatever it takes so you can cover the pain
But lately the curse is being clarified
This desperate air we're breathing is too rarified
Could the truth be more a cure than the disease?
Could letting go be any worse than life as its been and?
​
There's a road before you and a decision to make
A fork in the pathway but only one road you can take
​
You know your life's on the borderline
The day has come now you're out of time
You've got to make a decision we believe in you
No matter where you've been
No matter what is haunting you
​
I can't believe and its hard to admit
We were fighting the dragons when you fell in the pit
You were my hero and you'll always be
But something has happened now its plain to see
You never thought it'd come to this
But life has a way of catching up I guess and
​
There's a road before you and a decision to make
A fork in the pathway but only one road you can take
You know your life's on the borderline
The day has come now you're out of time
You've got to make a decision we believe in you
No matter where you've been
No matter what is haunting you
The bruises will heal but the memories remain
I wish I knew then what I've learned from the pain
But I've learned from the pain
There's a road before you and a decision to make
A fork in the pathway but only one road you can take
You know your life's on the borderline
The day has come now you're out of time
You've got to make a decision we believe in you
No matter where you've been
No matter what is haunting you
