Borrowed

Borrowed Notions
Borrowed beliefs
Spare your judgments
where's the truth behind what you speak

to say you know
to speak your truth
is a misconception
of dried up youth

you know your life
you know your story
your shoes you've filled
with  other's glory-

borrowed time
borrowed things
have you asked yourself
what you believe

all your pain
is all your own
you've not lived mine
yet you cast your stones

don't waste your breath on me
I have better things to see
don't place your fear on me
where's the origin of your dreams?

don't cast your stones on me
