A Million Exploding Suns - HORSE the Band

I’ve forgotten my name

I’m sick and weak and fresh from sleep

I crawl from a crooked bed

With dirty feet and shaky hands

The numbers on the clock read

One-one-O-four A. M

I’ve got time to clean myself

Then sell my soul again

When I sleep I dream

I dream I’m awake

Or was it when I’m awake

I dream I’m asleep?

I work, I shit, I eat, I sleep

I’m inspected by the number seven

This can’t be my life

No this isn’t me

I don’t know what’s beset this change

I barely recognize my own face

In my mind I know that something’s not right

But in my heart I’m bathed in the golden light!

I’m bathed in the golden light!

I’m bathed in the golden iight!!!

My eyelids still heavy, my pulse still faint

I’m puzzle peices, my memory’s stained

I feel strength swell — a day dream

I’m shaking under this duality

My pulse is still faint

I hear a strange voice but don’t know what it’s saying

And in this moment

Seconds stop and I burst with clarity

A wealth of love and hate gone blank

For I finally remember my fucking name!

I eat rocks

And I breathe wind

I’ve been around the world and back again

I’ve lost the static

The gray is gone

I have the power of a million exploding suns

I am consumed by my might

Blinded in light as I would be in night

The void is holding me tight

It doesn’t feel right

When will I ever break free

Within or without, I’m chained by the dream

The void is holding me tight

It doesn’t feel right

When will I ever break free

Within or without, I’m chained by the dream

The void and the light are both me

It doesn’t feel right

Bright lights flood my eyes

It’s true

Now I realise

The perilous truth

Of a perilous life

By my own device

The strength of my high

Is the strength of my low

Unless there’s no me

They both.

They both explode!
