Dead Horses

[Verse 1]

End over end I've been living

Through fire, through dirt, and through stone

Abandoning all, unforgiven

So tighten the noose that keeps me hanging

Under this skin I've been given

Lie broken, these traveler's bones

Dead horses have always been ridden

So tighten the noose that keeps me hanging

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Never letting go

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Never letting go

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

[Chorus]

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

Is it the wind in my face? The reassuring embrace

Of a family that I've never known?

I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

[Verse 2]

Waiting for life to be quickened

Ending this war on my own

Breaking down, breaking down these conditions

Tighten the noose that keeps me hanging

Acclimated to size, with the dirt in my eyes

Drowning in waters unknown

Weathered and worn, I'm still hidden

Tighten the noose that keeps me hanging

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Never letting go

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Never letting go

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

[Chorus]

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

Is it the wind in my face? The reassuring embrace

Of a family that I've never known?

I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

[Bridge]

End over end I've been living

Through fire, through dirt, and through stone

Abandoning all, unforgiven

So tighten the noose that keeps me hanging

Under this skin I've been given

Lie broken, these traveler's bones

Dead horses have always been ridden

So tighten the noose that keeps me hanging

[Breakdown]

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Never letting go

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Never letting go

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

[Chorus]

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

Is it the wind in my face? The reassuring embrace

Of a family that I've never known?

I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

[Outro]

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

I wanna know, I wanna know

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

I wanna know, I wanna know

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

Exactly what keeps me hanging on

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

Is it the wind in my face? The reassuring embrace

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

Of a family that I've never known?

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

I wanna know

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

I wanna know, I wanna know

(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh)

Exactly what keeps me hanging on
