[Verse 1]

There's a line like a borderline created by the shore

Like a needle lined up to your eye threaded in one go

A classroom emptied by a shot from a rifle down the hall

Played out through an intercom, it wasn't there at all

[Chorus]

There's a pyramid scheme that I'm selling to myself

The crippling belief that there is nothing else

That began so quiet I couldn't hear it coming

But it's here now

But it's here now

[Verse 2]

There's a way you navigate your life after you go

Down a rabbit hole of guilt and shame, you're painted from head to toe

An attic cleaned out of the things that your parents deemed to keep

One day cleaned out of your things by a son-in-law you'll never meet

[Chorus]

When did I become this mountain of misery

At an elevation where you can hardly breathe?

An ascent so slow you couldn't feel it coming

But it's here now

But it's here now

But it's here now

[Outro]

There's a line like a borderline created by the shore
