Dark Horse

I need to get out before it gets too bad. I don't want to be like them.

Dark Horse

 

I rode up…so unsuspecting

They never did think I’d make it

            (even though they said they did)

I know.

I know what they’re really thinking.

Quit pretending you care

            It makes me want to give up

Stick to what you know and ignore me

            That way I have the desire to be more than you

 

But I haven’t made it yet

            (and I’ve fallen so hard into their cage)

                                    (the same cage)

I thought I’d made it

            But this self-medication is destroying me

                        (why did you give up so easily?)

I thought a lot of things.

 

Now I’ve got cannabis coating my lungs

            (i toss tennis balls back and forth for enjoyment)

Now I’ve got my liver soaking up this vodka like a sponge

            (and watching that yellow square guy is suddenly fun)

 

But I haven’t given up yet

            (i don’t get knocked down that quickly)

I have yet to surface from this whirlpool

            But I will breathe fresh air soon

                        (because I refuse to follow you)

 

There is one more furlong.

            (and I’ve still got my chance.)

 

Author's Note

I assure you, all of the grammer and capitalization issues are on purpose.

the paranthesis are like silent promises to yourself. it's a great visual "thought bubble" that echoes each statement.

i felt that you started really strong and ended pretty well. i also really enjoyed the spongebob reference.
