Wild Horses

I’m running up this hill at my own pace
And if you forget me I won’t wait
Reactions bear the resemblance of disgrace
But if you reject me I won’t wait
And if it’s OK I’ll leave now
No more holes in your ground
No more whispers in the crowd
No more shadow of doubt
No more wild horses around
And if it’s OK I’ll leave now
I can’t be forced to participate in games I don’t believe in
I jumped the fence you’ve put me in
No I can’t stay penned in here
And if it’s OK I’ll leave now
No more holes in your ground
No more whispers in the crowd
No more shadow of doubt
No more wild horses around
And if it’s OK I’ll leave now

I used to think we were true to ourselves
But life is a maze and it’s hard to navigate
When we lie
Days have passed and I should’ve asked long ago
Now we’re trapped in our masks, so hollow
Is this love? It’s not much if it is
When we smile, it’s denial
And we know it
We lie

Guests
04:18
|

|
We twist our bodies tightly together
And give each other promises of forever
And through the night we lay silent
Just the pulse of our breath
I hold on too tightly
And press my head into your chest
I don’t dare to know
I don’t dare to let go of this moment
Eternal, in my willfully ignorant glow
‘Cause nothing lasts forever
And we both know, that at best
We can make each other joyful, as guests

At Dusk
05:41
|
|||
|
You are a temptation, but I’m an easily tempted girl
We write the rules of this transaction, loose, as my morals are
And in awe we search
Lost, we kneel
At our cross
And lust is an addiction
A carnal heavy musk
Guilt is an affliction, we must rid ourselves of at dusk
And in awe we search
Lost, we kneel
At our cross
Love is my conviction for another in my heart
You are my temptation to a game I can’t take part

Tether
04:57
|
|||
|
Our love is like a tether
Holding us by our feet
Prisoners to each other
A love full of defeat
And through any weather
I don’t retreat
The rains wash away my face
I’m out of place
Now all I can think of, is you
Who are you?
Who are you to me?
Love never lasts forever
That’s what I believe
But the fear of it fading
Consumes my lack of sleep
Fleeting glimpses of forever
Keep my hope sweet
But in my gut I know
We were over long ago
But I can’t let go
Of you
Who are you?
You can be my tether

My Resolve
06:57
|
|||
|
People’s mistake, is to credit me with strength
Yea I can bury pain deep, and turn the other cheek
But in so many other ways I’m weak
Yea and I’m cheap, yea, I stoop real low
How many times can we all say we did the wrong thing?
I’m just an opportunist, convincing myself it’s growth
But if we could just be
The deed is done, and I can’t say I didn’t have fun
Oh this passion, disguised, this string of lies
A risky way to pass the time, but this is what I like
And I wish there was more to this
I’m convincing myself to cope with being second best
And yet it’s true, I could easily fall in love with you
If we could just be
Look how quickly I lose my resolve

Shadow
06:11
|

I am gracious in my defeat
Always staring at walls
Trying to delete my heart
Why am I always that cliche?
Is this my price to pay?
An easy thing to use
Even easier to throw away
I was not always this insecure
I remember before there was you
You, a shadow
I am anxious in my retreat
Finding my flaws
Trying to delete my heart
Why am I always so afraid?
I just want you to stay
Loves easy to abuse
Even easier to throw away
I was not always this insecure
I remember before there was you
You, a shadow

Is This All I Am
06:36
|

There’s sitting time upon that shelf
It still reminds me of my stealth
Sharp goodbyes held in my breath
Enough to hide the fool that’s left
Is this all I am?
There’s sitting life upon that train
A ticket free from what remains
But I’ll sit still and watch your hands
Aged with love they wave undone their plans
Is this all I am?
The devil sleeps on my shoulder, waiting for his sign
He says you’re too easy to fold girl, too easy to be mine
And the weakness I prey on, still makes you smile
It can be our little secret
Don’t tell
Don’t cry
Wait for the shame
The blame
The games
The same old story, it doesn’t fade with time
It just rides with all the mistakes I’ve made
All the hearts I’ve helped break, least mine
But I can sit here, and talk and smile
And the room can see a normal child
The addiction I feel is not seen by their eyes
And when that next train comes I’ll gladly ride
And ride
And ride
This is all I am

Perpetuation
06:00
|
|||
|
What is it I miss about you?
The way you’d wrap your hands around my throat?
What is it I miss about you?
The way your words would slam me down and then you’d gloat?
How are you still in my thoughts?
A ghost I glance upon when days are dark
How can I shake this fear?
That I remain empty until somebody takes me away from here
And it was all for nothing
It was all just perpetuation
Yes I admired the art of how you broke my heart
A slow and silent suffocation
Yes I admired the finesse of your protests
Happiness a provocation
And yes I saw straight through your every move
Your anger was never a revelation, but an expectation
And yet I loved you more, with every sore
Pain perpetuation
And it was all for nothing
It was all perpetuation

Our Fall
06:00
|
|||
|
Seek your own path
I don’t want you no more
We’re so sure of ourselves
Like our little elves, will clean up our whores
I see your fear
It’s the only thing keeping you here
One time, we saw through our lies
But hope kept us chastised
And fools to our fall
Our fall
Once your gone I’ll feel numb
But I’ll overcome, the urge to call
And I know, how it feels to be hollow
And weak and wrong and sombre, and alone
I’ll sit on that throne
With your picture folded neatly to a dart
To pierce my next love
Because this was, the undoing of my trust
Now all that’s left is lust
And the haunting of our fall
Our fall
