The Horse You Rode In On
(album: Ribbons And Sugar)
I think I´ve read this book before,
hardbound shiny cover, pretty colors.
But an ending that´s sure to disappoint.
It´s not what you´d expect when you open the box.
And all the things you´d wished you´d find,
fleeting and taunting, colors drab and ordinary
to the brilliant white of not knowing what´s inside.
But how can I bear to behold that dream now?
That my eyes have adjusted to the concrete walls of this box that I´ve opened?
And I know I´m more than just a little fucked up,
but I´m trying to make my way back home.
