Verses (Rhy. fig. 1 4 times w/1 & 2; 2 times w/3

1. Care not for the men who wonder, straw that broke your back, you're under

Cast all them aside who care, empty eyes and dead end stare

2. For the horse you've grown much fonder, than for me, that I don't ponder

As the heir of one who bit you. Smiling bite your own self too.

3. So be yearning all your life, twisting turning like a knife

Pre-chorus

Play Rhy. fig. 2 twice with these:

1. Don't you know that none are blind, to the lie and you think I don't find

2. And I think that you're not blind, to the ones you left behind

3. Now you know the reasons why, can't get high, or you will die.
