Dead Horses

End over end I’ve been living
Through fire, through dirt, and through stone
Abandoning all, unforgiven
So tighten the noose that keeps me hanging
Under this skin I’ve been given
Lie broken, these travelers bones
Dead horses have always been ridden
So tighten the noose that keeps me hanging
Never letting go
I wanna know, I wanna know
Exactly what keeps me hanging on
Is it the wind in my face? The reassuring embrace
Of a family that I’ve never known?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Exactly what keeps me hanging on
Waiting for life to be quickened
Ending this war on my own
Breaking down, breaking down these conditions
Tighten the noose that keeps me hanging
Acclimated to size, with the dirt in my eyes
Drowning in waters unknown
Weathered and worn, I’m still hidden
Tighten the noose that keeps me hanging
Never letting go
