Ripe

(album: Rose Mountain - 2015)

I dressed up the horses, set them loose
Sunk the needle deep and took in every drop
A violent path, an inch in time
An error, my device the anchor drops

I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
Pinch 'til the feeling's gone

I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
Pinch 'til the feeling's gone

Miles of horses gallop to the edge
I saw murder in their mouths we try the whip
Powerful, more muscle and stiff lip
The reins are chains and I have lost my grip

Try with all my heart I choke, I'm ready to go
And if you're through with me then please say so
Try with all my heart I choke, I'm ready to go
And if you're through with me then please just say so

I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
Pinch 'til the feeling's gone

I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
I said peel the skin raw
Pinch 'til the feeling's gone

I built this game to play and to pretend
You are a dark machine and I'm a cog
When engines crack, when fuel lines break off
I'll save your bits and let your motor rot
