"Wide Open, Horses" lyrics
"Wide Open, Horses"
Horses just keep on
Dying at my door
See them running
Saw them jump
I see them fall
Grew an ocean
Dragged them to the shore
Now there's horses
All along the ocean floor
Do I lay down, lay down, gracefully
Now that my friends have gone quiet
There's silently waiting
I'm just this animal
Praying for the sun, sun
It seems hopeless
Help me haul away the worst
Branded corpses
Look at how the cloth unfurls
She sees me running
Turns and drops her shoulderblades
Scene so perfect
I know she could keep me safe
So we wade out
Wade out
Endlessly
All of our friends have gone quiet
They're silently waiting
We're just these animals
Praying for the sun, sun, sun, sun
It was time
I grew up
Stopped drinking too much
Cheap red wine
It got old
To seem fine
But underneath
Have failing arms

And the pieces broke and the people wanted more...
Fink - "Keep Falling" Yeah, mm
Wanna know what I'm thinking
Why I can't sleep at night?
Wanna know what I'm drinking?
Double of anything's fine
'Cause I'm alright now
'Cause I'm alright
I'm alright, mm
Wanna know what...
Austin Basham - "All Is Well" I know what it is
But I'm hoping that all is well
No harvest of green
But it's still my heart to sell
I put everything I had
Into something that didn't grow
Like going on a wild hunt
Shooting arrows...
Dermot Kennedy - "A Closeness" Keeping her bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you
Isn't she all of us pining for that last kiss, a permanent truth, a means to get through
Maybe we'll cry whilst hopeful when we think...
Blanco White - "All That Matters" Held at the start I'm faraway
Tracing the lines never seen
I don't know how long the clouds were above you
Waiting for day to come round again
Far beneath was a mind wide open
The sun was caught, but...
