Half Waif - 'Horse Racing'

"Horse Racing" by @halfwaif from the album 'Mythopoetics', available now

Lyrics

i don’t wanna make you nervous,
but it’s right under the surface:
while you look at your reflection,
you’re just falling away from everything. can’t you see i’m holding,

can’t you see i’m holding out?
and i’m not trying to make you nervous but i think that we deserve this.

horse racing:
wear me down until the muscle is thin.
look out, another body coming around the bend. forget it, we’re never gonna make it to the end. no, no, no.

we’ve been hiding in our habits.
what did we think was gonna happen? someone else is always worse off.
we’re just finding our way, finding our way. can’t you see i’m holding,
i can’t believe i’m holding out.
and i’m not trying to make you nervous but i think that we deserve this.

horse racing:
wear me down until the muscle is thin.
look out, another body coming around the bend. forget it, we’re never gonna make it to the end. no, no, no.

and the hardest part
is telling myself i don’t already know it’s been falling apart
since the day we started.
