Something has to change
This is an undeniable dilemma
Boredom is not a burden anyone should bear

Constant over-stimulation numbs me, but I would not want you any other way

It’s just not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, “I don’t want it
“I just need it
“To breathe, to feel, to know I’m alive”

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I can help you change tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we will be well upon our way

Blend and balance pain and comfort deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way

But It’s not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, “I don’t want it
“I just need it
“To breathe, to feel, to know I’m alive”

Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little but it’s something you’ll get used to
Relax, slip away

There is something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?

How can this mean anything to me if I really don’t feel anything at all?

I’ll keep digging till I feel something

Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together

Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax
Turn around and take my hand
