The Borders

[Verse 1] We were like brothers Everybody said we looked the same You a little taller, and broader, and bolder We were afraid of your mother Hell, she used to hit you so hard And your dad took off when you were a baby And you still hate me for my dad stuck around You pin me to the ground Eight years old with a replica gun pushin' in my skull Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell Never did, and I never will That house was living hell Come on [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I remember my mother when she found a new man And your mother thought she found a partner A father for you, no wonder you can't stand me I can't stand me, too I can't stand me, too Oh, your gone mother repaired the anger in me Spoke to me like I was an adult Didn't take sides and didn't turn me against my dad Then she took those pills and now she's gone [Bridge] See her in the night In the corner of my eye And I see her in the night [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders Some naughty family boys are after you You pinned me to the wall and said my mother Stole your inheritance from you, oh yeah? We ain't got a penny between wor Holding up this tin that we live in You pinned me to the wall and smashed a bottle Your eyes the door to hell and all within Ha [Instrumental Outro]
