I'm gonna wake up from alcohol
I'm gonna broaden my mind
I'm gonna become the President
I'm gonna better everyone's lives
Cause my bones have been aching from indifference
I'm getting stiff from these old bruises of mine
I'm gonna open my eyes on my very last day
And realise I wasted all of this time
And reach for it all again
When I'm calm and unafraid
I'll be alive for a while
Then life echoes back to where it's safe
And I turn my eyes to the fire
And in time
On my own time
I'll cross that borderline
I'm gonna gonna stamp out my own freedoms
I'm gonna gamble all my liberties on dice
I'm gonna welcome the thunder and pray for the rain
Then tell everyone it all turned out nice
Cause you're life ain't worth shit unless you live a little
And it won't leave a scar until you die
So I'm gonna wait here for my very last breath
And realise I've wasted all of this time
And do it all over again
When I'm calm and unafraid
I'll be alive for a while
Then life echoes back to where it's safe
And I turn my eyes to the fire
And in time
On my own time
I'll cross that borderline
