Dark Horse

I’m a drunk jockey

In my secondhand jersey with drugs still in the pockets

All in shambles

Back at your door asking you to take the gamble

One more time

Getting giddy

Over the hurdles we laid across the city

It’s hard to be honest anymore

As I reel in on a promise once again

Never asked to be a dark horse

Breaking my back out on the course

Ready and nailed into my shoes

Always something new to prove

Out for a record

I’m a rival

And I can’t handle the blushes unbridled

Loose cannon in the crowd

What are the party tricks you’re planning on now?

Cause this pain

It’ll tell you

That it’s here to never quit

Feeling the freeze

Feeling brainwashed

Like the doggy ear of puzzle pieces

Friends I keep you like a secret

Sink me like a stone

Oh to be a dark horse

Breaking my back out on the course

Ready and nailed into my shoes

Always something new to prove

Out for a record

Out for a record
