Story behind the song

Song about going insane.  The lyrics were inspired by a quote from Lord of the Rings: "One ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.  In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie."

Lyrics

Everything hurts
And I can't seem to breathe
I can't find a way out 
And there's nothing left that I believe
I'm making it worse
There's nothing left of me
How much can I bleed
Now that the world is my enemy?

[Pre-Chorus
I brought nothing to the world
And nothing's what I got in return

[Chorus]
On the borderline of sanity no one can fight
Gone insane, caress the flame
On the borderline you have to see there's nowhere to hide
Beaten and hopeless, consumed by your mind
On the borderline of sanity you cannot deny
The presence of darkness allows for the light
On the borderline of sanity where the shadows lie
What's in the mirror, what's in your eyes?

I'm fighting to keep my broken fantasy
There's nowhere to run
And I'm splitting my life at the seams
But everything's wrong
And I know I'll never leave
Unless I end it all
And save myself from all the screaming

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Blowing down my house of cards (blow it all away)
Bring it down around me now (nothing left to say)
Caught up in the broken shards (break me to the bone)
Of life that seem to cut me down (The pain is all I know)
Breaking my fantasy
My mind is the enemy

[Pre-Chorus]

On the borderline of sanity no one can fight
On the borderline you have to see there's nowhere to hide
On the borderline of sanity you cannot deny
On the borderline of sanity where the shadows lie
