lyrics
I was born with a stubborn tongue and a mind that couldn’t cope.
I was tossed away by the very ones who'd laid me into this great big joke.
The first lesson I learned was never be patient,
"[Our] little life is rounded [with] a sleep," and its just a dead man’s dream until you make it your own.
So I grabbed myself some dirt, and shaped it into this pretty little thing,
I left my prints where they'd be easily recognized so it would sing my name.
And unlike the place that I came from this one is big enough for me to breath,
I can romp and roam about giving and taking as I please.
But I suppose it ain’t that simple, we ain’t privy to half of what we eat,
And there's the curse, it’s a tightly packed hearse for us blind and parasitic beasts.
So what changes could I have hoped to bring about?
I’m just a lone horse tugging at the reigns but I’ll never break out,
Cuz I’ve been branded with a name I can’t seem to figure out.
So I’ll keep running until I've left this song behind,
Yea i'll keep running until I've left this song behind..
