Horizon
Marc Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a bad horizon that I'm staring at
There's a long dark road leading back
Regret is pushing me as the sun is shutting down
Redemption can't be found here in this tired old ghost town

It's a bad horizon, looks a lot like death
It's a bad horizon, looming straight ahead
The red looks like fire on black clouds rising up from hell

It's a bad horizon, and I don't feel well

My fears and failure ride shotgun seat
As I'm driving home where she hates me
A sandstorm hits my heart, I swear I can hear it moan
My mind picks at my flaws like a vulture on dead bones

It's a bad horizon, looks a lot like death
It's a bad horizon, looming straight ahead
The red looks like fire on black clouds rising up from hell
It's a bad horizon, and this won't end well

That lightning in the distance is the devil's electric chair
Like a dead man walking, I'm headed there

It's a bad horizon, looks a lot like death
It's a bad horizon, looming straight ahead

The red looks like fire on black clouds rising up from hell
It's a bad horizon, and this won't end well
