about

A massive play on the phrase "beating the dead horse," this song is about messing up constantly and then in return always needing to ask for second chances until you get it right.

This is our first single released with our current lineup with Ben Melwiki on guitars.

lyrics

I am the dead horse walking, but you can’t
Beat me back to life...

Beat me back to life, so I can live again
Just to make the same mistakes,
And cary the regrets I had before I left.
I find myself stumbling overtime I try to climb
So beat me back to life,
And maybe I won’t fuck it up this time


How many years of my life's been wasted
Not knowing who I am or why I'm here
How many days have been left uncounted
While I ran from my past and lived in fear
How many years of my life's been wasted
Not knowing who I am or why I'm here
I just need to know how much time has been wasted


I am the dead horse walking, so keep
Beating me until I live again.
So I can taste the air that I need to survive
And try to find a piece of mind
I am the dead horse walking
and it’s time to take a dive


With my talons perched upon the precipice
I prepare myself for the swan dive
Leap of faith
I’m falling fast and I don’t think that I’ll make it out alive
But if I don’t make it, At least I’ll die knowing that I tried
I tried
I tried.....


How many years of my life's been wasted
Not knowing who I am or why I'm here
How many days have been left uncounted
While I ran from my past and lived in fear
How many years of my life's been wasted
Not knowing who I am or why I'm here
I just need to know how much time has been wasted
