horses - jesse welles lyrics

[verse 1]
all my flannels made in bangladesh
all my t*shirts in vietnam
there are places that we quietly ignore
there are places that we go and bomb
you know i thought an awful lot about jesus
even more about lao tzu
they say that the way of the tao is to do nothing
then what the hell am i supposed to do?

[pre*chorus]
you know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
the tighter you grip, the further you slip

[chorus]
so i’m singing this song about loving
all the people that you’ve come to hate
it’s true what they say, i’m gonna diе someday
why am i holding on to all this weight?
you know i really thought that thеre’d be power
in thinking half of y’all was just born fools
thought i was gathering oats for my horses
i was getting by whipping my mules

[verse 2]
there’s a book i read i don’t remember
there’s a place i’ve been i’d never seen
there’s a note that i wrote that went up in smoke
there’s some songs i don’t ever sing
you know the stars in the sky are burning
mostly burning unbeknownst to me
i wish i would’ve payed more attention
to the bigger things i didn’t see
[pre*chorus]
you know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
the tighter your grip, the further you slip

[chorus]
so i’m singing this song about loving
all the people that you’ve come to hate
it’s true what they say, i’m gonna die someday
why am i holding on to all this weight?
you know i really thought that there’d be power
in thinking half of y’all was just born fools
thought i was gathering oats for my horses
i was getting by whipping my mules

[bridge]
i got some bricks so thick that they don’t make sense
in the walls up in my mind
but life is pretty short and the road’s got forks
so i take them down while i got time

[pre*chorus]
you know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
the tighter your grip, the further you slip
