„No reins on the horse, no care in the fall If the weight breaks my neck — I’ll thank em all“ Verse 1 (tight UK flow) Mum — look what I done, no hands, no pride, Look what I broke just to feel alive (shit). You gave me stone, you gave me steel, Never taught grip, never taught feel. Never said I’d bleed for every piece I gave, Till the puzzle’s gone and there’s nothing left to save. So I smashed it myself, dust in my lungs, If I’m losing it all, I’m choosing the run (fuck). Bus to the van, van to the sea, Sink then crawl back, salt on my knees. Build it in sand, watch it cave, Break it again, back in the saddle — (behave). Town to town, already lost, Tell the boss I don’t know the cost. Ride this horse till it bucks me dead, Then shoot it myself just to clear my head (bang). Trade a cow for fairytale gains, Make mum proud of my crooked trades. Modern Johnny with pockets of seeds, Glad I never passed on broken genes (shit). Never dropped the axe, never learned rest, Piano man trapped on a chequered mess. Crowd too loud, connection gone, More they clap, less he’s on (wrong). I don’t need your nod to move ahead, No one said this road was fed and led. But God — who the fuck would lie with me? (fuck) Too many steps, no one practising. Look mum — no hands, still stood, Built this armour out of rotten wood. „No reins on the horse, no care in the fall If the weight breaks my neck — I’ll thank em all“ Verse 2 (darker, faster cadence) I think I’m dead — still talking though, Can’t see past skull, just static snow. Brains and blood in tailored suits, Tsars break bread with warlord troops (bastards). Thoughts are thoughts, words are traps, I thought it first — didn’t mean to snap. Tongue slipped loose — who signed that off? (shit) Let me be, let me out, let me walk. Dad shouts loud, my spine goes thin, Masculinity nods like it knows the script. Dear father — sorry you’re gone, New man preaches guilt, same old song. Wooden cross, forced applause, Sing till blame don’t stick no more. Tenor voice but wrong key, Singing why this place ain’t built for me. Still I stay. Planted seeds in poisoned ground, Watered wants till dreams drowned out. Swore I’d learn love the way I learned fear, Slow, tense, knuckles white, ears clear. Untangle shame from my hairline, Pile my ego round the barber’s spine (fuck). Say goodbye to the restless years, To the panic, noise, invisible tears. Invited myself to a quiet end, Where armour’s stacked, no need to pretend. Men, women, kids by the shore, Watching horses sink, then swim once more (cold). „No reins on the horse, no care in the fall If the weight breaks my neck — I’ll thank em all“
