The Borders

Lyrics

We were like brothers
 Everybody said we looked the same
 You're 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
 And 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
 ♪
 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 grandmother 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
 ♪
 See her in the night
 In the corner of my eye
 And I see her in the night
 ♪
 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 us
 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
