Darkhorse lyrics

Nothing comes from nowhere
One thing remains and I swear
Nail polish cellophane hair
Bleached, blonde burned down to the brain
I can't complain there's no shame in no fame
And still it all remains the same
And I want this game over
It's a fight to stay sober

[Chorus:]
And I got the pills for the pain the pain (pills for the pain)

(feat. Rivers Cuomo)

Now let me state it for the record
I'm jaded but when you looked at me
I couldn't escape it
I really hate it when I'm out of control
But baby after the show
My mind just wouldn't let go
Tell me was it a hallucination
That made me feel so alone
And even though I have never met you before
I can't get you out of my head
Now I'm pouring out my heart for you

[Chorus:]

Everything is so complex
Everyday is like a test full of opsticals
That almost seem impossible

And I’m thinking just another breath not a minute left.
How long have I been drinking

Pass the glass pint hit the flash light now break it.
People say I’m a star but I still think ill never make it.

And I’m thinking just another prayer not a second left.
I feel there’s something missing

Now in these cynical times
Sterotypical minds
Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind
I'm trying to look beyond the lies
Just to see what I'll find
I'm like a flower in a cave
Another hour in the maze
And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays

Now can you hear the cling-clang of my ball and chain gang
The sound of heavy metal that tastes like cellophone
Collapsing every vein like umbrellas in heavy rain
My passion is pain
I do dirt to bury shame
I'm victimized an instituion's no solution
A place where you're defenseless and guilt's the prosecution
Where necks are bound into slipknots of shallow souls

She was My Heart, my soul, my girl, my life
I want that shit, I'll make that sacrifice.
you know I know, you know What's on my mind
I like the sex but where just wastin' time
no replay's, like Shifty please stay
sick of breakin' up every other week day
and we cant seem to see, eye to eye
you even yell when I try to get high
and I cant keep you, your evil

I'm sorry, I'm not what you are,
so sorry, the ugly of it all,
all my life, I was beneath you,
it's all my fault please forgive me,
maybe I could change, maybe I could try,
maybe I could, but then again....

[CHORUS]
Why would I want to,
lie like you,
thieve like you,
hurt like you,
deceive like you,
connive like you,
cheat like you,
its not that hard to be like you,

No time for words just choose sides
No fear cause no one can hide
No room to keep this inside
I'm on the front line yelling out the battle cry

Steppin' with my Armageddon, weapon I'll wet 'em and let 'em
Step again, Armageddon weapon will wet 'em again
Steppin' with my Armageddon, weapon I'll wet 'em and let 'em
Step again, step again

I'm sick of waiting and hearing this instigation

Tripple X bottle, role models from hell
Livin' our dreams we like to scream and yell
White boys, B-Boys raised in the gutter
I said when I'd grow up I'd be a bad motherfucker
Nothings gonna stop me now, I'm breaking the rules
I'm gonna do it if it's not allowed
Thought I wouldn't when I would, would when I wouldn't
I did it for the reason everybody said I couldn't

[Chorus:]
I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky
I went from crawling around to being able to fly
Saw no future for me until I opened my eyes
I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky

I tried love, heaven, hope and takin' chances
And all I got were broken dreams and failed romances
Suffered to a life of skin covered in scratches

Now when the shit goes down, I'm always forced to grow
forced to see all the things that I still don't know
and if there's one thing I've learned,
it's never too late to take a fucked up life to a beautiful state
Caus' I came from the bottom so I treasure the top
at times it seems the dreams are just a long shot
when the worlds crashing down, when the drama wont stop

So many people in the scene LOOK AT life like a joke

But then I met you just when I was losin' hope

You appeared in a cloud of smoke

You don't look like Aaliyah but your rockin' my boat

So you can take me to a punk rock paradise
Thats about the time I get lost in your eyes

CAUSE I want you, I want what you got

Just the thought of it is makin' me hot

So baby don't stop

Tell me how you like us now
I remember the days we used to stop and watch and drop the drops
But now we got the block unlocked with lots of props
No longer do we shock the rocks and cock the glocks.
So how ya like us now?

We used to be broke, now we clocking chips,
We used to make demos, but now we droppin' hits
Had a block on the phone, but now we got flips

So many people in the scene LOOK AT life like a joke
But then I met you just when I was losin' hope
You appeared in a cloud of smoke
You don't look like Aaliyah but your rockin' my boat
So you can take me to a punk rock paradise
Thats about the time I get lost in your eyes
CAUSE I want you, I want what you got
Just the thought of it is makin' me hot
So baby don't stop
