"Horses" lyrics

"Horses"

Spent a thousand years medicated
Accepting things you truly hated
You should have anticipated
Dodged the truth instead of made it

How on earth could you escape
Capitulate instead of faced it
No answers cause I didn't ask
Forget the truth salute the past
Fall into another trap
A busted chain of covered tracks
And raise a cup of broken glass
No one here deserves a pass

When I set those horses free
Climbed out a hole that was six feet deep
I turned around and head for home
Now I'm dying in my dreams
Running down the same old streets
Small price to pay for what it is I know

Almost sure I'm someone else
Pull the plug on mental health
Been defeated and in hell
Watch history repeat itself
I will say it once again
We're fundamentally broken

Particulars are left unsaid
Everybody's left to guess
Now we're hanging by a thread
Turning back or paying debts
Darkness underneath the breath
Backs are up until the death

When I set those horses free
Climbed out a hole that was six feet deep
I turned around and head for home
Waking up in another room
Surprised the darkness again has bloomed
That's the price I pay for what it is I know

No answers if you never ask
Forget the truth salute the past
