High Horse

A Poem by Sarahthirk

This is about a girl on a website who had a super-high opinion of herself, took charge of everything, and always ended up leaving people hanging.

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
