lyrics

A Dark Horse Damned

It started when I was only ten
They gave me drugs
I loved them then
My father said I was the nervous kind
I took their pills to slow my mind
The damage done would last a lifetime
The bright times
Disappeared
Into a sea of foggy second best
One step behind
all the rest.

CHORUS

Is it time - to free my mind
from chains that held me back
from all I could be
Is a light about to shine
On me?

My life corrupted from an early age
I blame myself
I built that cage
She led me down a path of no return
Eleven then, but I had to learn
The damage done would cast a shadow
How could I know
Tenderness
The shameless joy of boyhood lust fulfilled
I won the prize
but lost my will.

CHORUS

Is it time - to free my mind
from chains that held me back
from all I could be
Is a light about to shine
On me?

in praise of juvenile delinquency
a refuge for
ADHD
and I can never live my life as planned
as long as I'm
a dark horse damned
the damage done can't last a lifetime
tell me bright times
will re-appear
It started when I was only ten
they gave me drugs
I loved them then
