It's enough to get up on a high horse. <br />Tip those wide brim hats. <br />Lock tight and strap those saddle bags. <br />Wave goodbye; turn those backs and ride. <br />Whether it is Sunset or Sunrise, <br />Look at the sky and head towards the horizon. <br /> <br />People today are only about their gossip. <br />With a topping of fresh juicy and hot topics. <br />That's it. <br />To drop it all over with making no attempts to stop it. <br />And done to do to chase those believed familiar away. <br />As those they 'assumed' they had once knew, <br />Have made it clearly understood... <br />They have a preference to stay strangers. <br /> <br />'Why are those people on their high horses, <br />Doing it and not wearing their masks? <br />WHO do they want us to think they are? <br />Over-achievers? Crab barrel refugees? ' <br /> <br />~I think they have grown tired of the pretentiousness of it. <br />And have decided our changing of them too often, <br />Was something they tired of and from us chose to split.~ <br /> <br />'Ridiculous! <br />But... <br />Who are they? ' <br /> <br />~I have no clue. <br />That's the first time I have seen their real faces too.~ <br /> <br />It's enough to get up on a high horse. <br />Tip those wide brim hats. <br />Lock tight and strap those saddle bags. <br />Wave goodbye; turn those backs and ride. <br />Whether it is Sunset or Sunrise, <br />Look at the sky and head towards the horizon. <br />Many people today are only about their gossip. <br />With a topping of fresh juicy and hot topics. <br />That's it. <br />And others... <br />Have decided their tasks to adorn masks, <br />Is no longer a neccessity. <br />And have made it clearly understood, <br />They have a preference to stay strangers. <br /> <br />'Why are those people on their high horses, <br />Doing it and not wearing their masks?
