lyrics

Horseless, horseless
I went out on my own
And the desert locked me in
It was endless.
Horseless, horseless
I was selfish to go out alone
And all this water to myself
I was blind to the rocks below.

Her hooves were like a sentry,
Her belly like a fortress,
Her rib-cage would protect us like a home,
With no economy or downfall to resent,
to present, or to represent us,
Or even call it a home

Horseless, horseless
The dunes were all around
I was buried up to my neck
The heat was endless.
Hopeless, hopeless
I was led up to a room
And there were strangers all around
Self-praise was all they ever talked about.

My long-term partner
Left a long time ago
While I was stranded by the sand
It locked me in.
A mirage of people
Left a long time ago
They dried up in the cracks
Of the desert below

And her hooves were like a sentry,
Her belly like a fortress,
And her rib-cage would protect you like a home,
With no economy or downfall to resent,
to present, or to represent us,
Or even call it a home

Horseless, horseless.
