Bad Pony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear I'm not at fault.
The intention: to keep our best from drawing water in.
So smile once in a while.
I need acceptance, another 20 hours to a day.
And I, I, I have seen it all. my own mothers afflictions taking over.
Yeah I, Ive seen it all before where money alone can't buy forgiveness.

I still retain a sense of self. Can I get a bit more.

Hot, cold, I don't know what to adjust.
And it's getting so old, ancient bones sur l'affichage.
Go, give me one hint of human.
And I can see that you don't seem like yourself anymore.

Pills and time away drove the stake in, put a moat around a sinking home.
And that's the closest call that we've encountered.
I should've thought it through and wait it out.

And I, I, I have seen it all. My own fathers addictions creeping over.
Yeah I, I've seen it all before.
Where money alone can't buy forgiveness.

I still retain a sense of self. Can I get a bit more

Hot, cold, I don't know what to adjust.
And it's getting so old, ancient bones sur l'affichage.
Come, give me one hint of human.
And I can see that you don't seem like yourself anymore.

I can't be outnumbered, but I'm still wrong.





Hot, cold, I don't know what to adjust.
It's getting so old, ancient bones sur la. Sur l'affichage.
