DEAD HORSE LYRICS

1. One Nation

through generations of neglet
to mortality
the needs of man are sewn into
the earth's flesh
so reap your harvest of murder
and stolen property
then grit your teeth as the
years go by we digress
the suffering can make a killer
at an early age
choking on the silent highly
combustible eternal rage

the melting pot is boiling over
human nature gets colder and colder
some signs of the times we have missed
and the hand of doom is now a fist

the time is getting shorter
the horn of plenty will soon be empty
the time is getting shorter

repeat the pain
repeat the hate
repeat all your stupid mistakes

2. What A Beautiful Day

no more air and there is too much
sun and there is nowhere to hide
because the planet is done
where can we go some say to the moon
but you can pick flowers for an
outdoor wedding in the month of june

walking through hallow shells of
souls in the earth
human lives summed up in stone
i know its hard to fight the
darkening thought
that in the end we're all alone
centuries gone past with so few
that have come back
with some fuel for the fire of faith

why am i so hard on myself

just some twisted fucking words
for when your life feels absurd
and you feel you're the extreme
of nothingness

when your demons come at night
and they scratch and bite
are you prepared to deal with their worst
well i get by

3. Reach Around

it's back again
i've held it down for so long
i can't control these feelings
somethings gone
terribly wrong
in a weakened moment
i broke your sacred trust
but now it's over
the scars i have caused from lust
(i'm the one to blame)
sometimes, i felt the
need to kill
all before me turned red
tormented, pushed
beyond my will
twisting the knife
in my head
discordance burns inside of me
years i've wasted
on apologies

the weight of the world is
breaking my back
and sometimes i snap

the weight of the world is
crushing my back
and sometimes i snap

4. My Apology

i'm sorry, i'm sorry
i'm so very sorry
would you EVER forgive me!

I meant what i meant
so mark my word
word for word
word forward

[Chorus]
why, why
can't you learn
are you the true lying king
don't you know? don't you know
your words
carry weight

[Break]

accept my apology

i'm sorry, so sorry
will you accept my apology
accept my apology

[Break]

haven't you learned by now
are you the true king of these
don't you know
i'm sorry - so sorry

5. Eaten By The Grey

my head is crippled my soul's burned
through answers just trickle but
the questions consume life is confusion
and i'm just a normal man
i must do all i can to find
but where i stand
is hate your habitat fuck this
and fuck all that
maybe you're peaceful now
pray to a sacred cow
well your scared cow has been seen
at your local dairy queen
tell me where's your faith now

who defines what's black or white
who decides who's wrong or right
one song and one dance one planet
one chance do what you what don't
do it with me
i am what i am
so go be what you

you know one day when the piper
comes around
he's gotta bill that we
all gotta pay
you know on that day when the
piper comes around
will all your business be
through on
that day well mine will

6. My Dog The Prophet

i had a dog that's long been dead
his name was crusher and he once said

why haven't you learned?
you just keep getting burned
you use words like forever and from now on
and they don't mean shit

gotta a new dog sergeant cannon ball
he says don't worry
the strive for perfection will
most certainly burn you
in a hurry
dog food is cheap but cats are free
i'm telling you
so you'll listen to me
pay attention to the small things
and you won't lose your mind

7. Someone
