Could you swallow the truth if it hit you
If it washed over you like the poison you've been licking
Straight from the hands of the lies you bought
'Til you twist and turn and bend to be who you're not
Welcome to your reckoning
You're gonna throw it away and do the same damn thing
Slowly let the muscle memory leave you feeling cold and empty
Wake up you know it's time
Way past the borderline
What's living got to do with what you've been up to
How many times did you wake up sad
Like the stone cold shell of a person that
Falls to her knees at the slightest sign of a happy day
Of a world that I maybe can't get a handle of
If I could swallow all my dreams in a pill I would
Let it wash you through and through just like the other pills can do
Wake up you know it's time
Way past the borderline
What's living got to do with what you've been up to
There's an old window in your house
You've been looking through for 22 years now
Faded articles and pictures
Tape's still holdin' the screen so broken
Outside a street lamp or two
You used to think were stars for you
When the sky got dark
Wake up you know it's time
Way past the borderline
What's living got to do with what you've been up to
Wake up you know it's time
Way past the borderline
What's living got to do with what you've been up to
Could you swallow the truth
Let it wash over you
What's living got to do with what you've been up to
