Michael Collier_Shy Frog Collective - HorseShoe Lyrics

Curse the mountain for its scars
Curse the tree for its bark
Curse the sky for its hue
But whatchu want them to do?
How high the sun, how high the moon?
Is that the distance from me to you?
How far the stars, how deep the sea?
Is that the distance from you to me?
Curse the jackal, how she lopes
Curse the frog, how he croaks
Curse the sparrow, how she flies
Curse the coyote, how he cries
Such words I'd never known
Except from a sheet of glass in my home
Every blemish, it is wrong
Lonely is the life eating my flesh & bones
All around me, there are eyes
Quietly they analyze
And everywhere I go
I'm asking people do you know?
Every glance is a question
Every word's a confession
These words are my armor
All such good friends
All connected
I accept the truth because I cannot reject it
I'm just a stranger passing through
I am the empty space in your horseshoe
Yet desperate I take a shot I'm bound to miss
Round peg in a square hole
I'm in no shape for this
Boxed in by fear for the wall in my throat
I cannot make a sound
So I change faces and try angles just to get around
Praying that someone might confirm that I'm a diamond in the rough
Soothe my fears whenever I decide to surface in this area
Do I go, or do I stay?
Will it ever be squared away?
Are these just imaginary hurdles?
Man, I'm running in circles
Under the spell far too long
Suffer in silence till the hex are gone
Away Beauty, it has gone
If it ever was
Maybe I do not wanna speak
Shut the f*ck up please don't talk to me
Electricity is bleeding me
I'm sorry to those who believed in me
You spoke a prayer like you was reaching me
Don't stare, don't even be perceiving me
Hitting liquor like elixir, that's relieving me
Don't you get it? I'm not who y'all thought I could be
Hang with a stripper, after I tip her
We chill at Marty's, place is a party
In the car she on my body
Long legged, tall woman she is a hottie
Float through crowds, that is a hobby
While I numb ghosts in my skull that still haunt me
Revelation I'm scum, had finally caught me
Strangers surround, I don't care if they got me
If I give in hope it end when that concrete stop me
