High Horse
Verse 1: Flowers and chocolates for every person on the street But the flowers are wilted and the chocolates aren't sweet Infinite fables about your heroic acts Seeing every helpful tip as a deadly attack Pre-Chorus: I'm sure someday you'll realize Your halo is invisible from other people's eyes Chorus: You're riding on a high horse, standing on a mountain Looking down at others like worthless pennies in a fountain You see yourself as a one-hundred dollar bill And doing nothing that matters seems like such a thrill It ain't worth it to open your heart to this world You should know, to this world, you're just one girl Before you make the universe shatter like glass You better jump off of your high horse real fast Verse 2: Your ears are deaf and your eyes are blind Many apologies overdue, running out of time Artificial innocence radiates at first Afterwards any niceties are dispersed Pre-Chorus: Knocking others off of cloud nine Take this song as a sign Chorus: You're riding on a high horse, standing on a mountain Looking down at others like worthless pennies in a fountain You see yourself as a one-hundred dollar bill And performing every worthless skill seems like such a thrill It ain't worth it to open your heart to this world You should know, to this world, you're just one girl Before you make the universe shatter like glass You better jump off of your high horse real fast Bridge: I can't keep the rage inside Your weapons make them run and hide Getting high on your pride Let me tell you, your novelty has died Chorus: You're riding on a high horse, standing on a mountain Looking down at others like worthless pennies in a fountain You see yourself as a one-hundred dollar bill And performing every worthless skill seems like such a thrill It ain't worth it to open your heart to this world You should know, to this world, you're just one girl Before you make the universe shatter like glass You better jump off of your high horse real fast © 2013 Sarahthirk |
