Lyrics
Betting on a Dead Horse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What went around came and found you out
Here's to being so cold; can't turn back now
Thinning line; the truth has been so blind
You are alone, so unaware, you're the only one to blame
All this time wasted on selfish gain
Insatiable indulgence only lasts so long
This is breaking at the seams
It's coming back now, coming coming back now
This will come around, you'll see
It's coming back now, coming coming back now
In this moment, you will see
That this is all you'll ever be
This will come around, you'll see
It's coming back now, coming coming back now
The scourge holds no mercy for the wretched
Watch as your plans come crashing down
All you have is your pride
Will this be enough to save you
Or will you ignore the light
I've had enough of the same conversations
You've done this to yourself, now face the music
Your little world is all but wasted now
You'll realize the disaster you've made
The lies you've told have sealed your fate
No one can save the man inside
Desires fall short when faced with aftershock
What will it take for you to hold back
Conscience is blocked by the senseless
Goading of the world around you
Feel the wind lash out against this treason
You won't escape this for long
It's not the answer you've been seeking
Isolated still wanting more
