I want to offer an interpretation that differs completely from any other possibilitys mentioned here. Anything follows representing my opinion, didnt trying to match your personal construct of "reality".
This Song is about a disease, namely borderline, which is one of more possible deseases caused by traumatized childhood. neurologically there isnt any reasonable difference to posttraumatic stress disorder. borderliners have difficulties to process emotional stress along with other symptoms which are to subjective for me to describe in english.
Borderline case
reinforced glass
absent friends
passport photos an elastic past
Empty pocket..
This may be an analogy to crossing borders while travelling and how it feels to arrive somewhere with empty pockets and absent friends. A borderliners feeling is always beeing on a border, lost, beeing the only one in his world. If we're lonely and things feeling bad, what we are used to, even our best, absent firends faces looks so fucking ugly..
The past of all of us is elastic. None of us enjoys a linear life. We're always teared apart, we always forcing cuts and we are cut (literally, only very few of us are cutting themselves to get wounded)
We are arrived so lonely in a world that strange, with empty pockets, what means we didnt got the set of tools sane people repair their traumas with. To be born means to be traumatized to us.
The very base feeling of a borderliner is hardly better to described than this words do!
They think it is all...
meant the metaphor before. They think we just got some problems.
They think it's soul
They think we are just beeing as we are, because its our personality. Well, we didn't, this grabs deeper..
It's all wrapped up on a swollen lip
standard borderline case. What causes us to wandering the borders is secretly hidden behind our lips, swollen by the traumatizers violent fear of beeing identified. If our trauma came in the late state of sane thinking, lets say when we were 3 or 4 years, the traumatizer may have the need to construct strategies preventing leak of what he really is about.

Chemicals
Chemicals captured in winter's grip
Turn us on
Seperate the leper
Hungry ghosts
Hungry ghosts
Another imprint
In borrowed clothes
Most of us has tried to numb the pain with chemicals. All od us knows what depression is. Anyone in upper northerns hemisphere knows winters grip. Hungry ghosts are with us, all the time, reminds to try to fill the hole.. But if we do, we'll soon be feeling like an imprint in borrowed clothes :(
We can be numb
We can be numb
Passing through
Yes, we can.
"Blow! blow! blow! blow!"
...
Borderline case
Future proof
look the words before. Real thin air is all we've got to breathe.
