HorseShoe Lyrics

Curse the mountain for its scars

Curse the tree for its bark

Curse the sky for its hue

But whatchu want them to do? 

How high the sun, how high the moon?

Is that the distance from me to you? 

How far the stars, how deep the sea?

Is that the distance from you to me? 

Curse the jackal, how she lopes

Curse the frog, how he croaks

Curse the sparrow, how she flies

Curse the coyote, how he cries

Such words I'd never known

Except from a sheet of glass in my home

Every blemish, it is wrong

Lonely is the life eating my flesh & bones

All around me, there are eyes

Quietly they analyze

And everywhere I go

I'm asking people do you know? 

Every glance is a question

Every word's a confession

These words are my armor 

All such good friends

All connected

I accept the truth because I cannot reject it

I'm just a stranger passing through

I am the empty space in your horseshoe

Yet desperate I take a shot I'm bound to miss

Round peg in a square hole

I'm in no shape for this

Boxed in by fear for the wall in my throat

I cannot make a sound

So I change faces and try angles just to get around

Praying that someone might confirm that I'm a diamond in the rough

Soothe my fears whenever I decide to surface in this area

Do I go, or do I stay?

Will it ever be squared away?

Are these just imaginary hurdles?

Man, I'm running in circles

Under the spell far too long

Suffer in silence till the hex are gone

Away Beauty, it has gone

If it ever was

Maybe I do not wanna speak

Shut the fuck up please don't talk to me

Electricity is bleeding me

I'm sorry to those who believed in me

You spoke a prayer like you was reaching me

Don't stare, don't even be perceiving me

Hitting liquor like elixir, that's relieving me

Don't you get it? I'm not who y'all thought I could be

Hang with a stripper, after I tip her

We chill at Marty's, place is a party

In the car she on my body

Long legged, tall woman she is a hottie

Float through crowds, that is a hobby

While I numb ghosts in my skull that still haunt me

Revelation I'm scum, had finally caught me

Strangers surround, I don't care if they got me

If I give in hope it end when that concrete stop me
