Octopus On Fire - HORSE the Band

Right now, in the heat of my head

a flower blooms that was already dead

decembers long gone

but these fields are forever frozen

…and everything she said

burns in the back of my head

quick-sands of silver

under dreams still glittering golden

all along i sing this song

it runs wild like a river inside

a voice cries out sharp words of doubt

if i take them to heart they make me bleed

everyday my attention strays

light like life it fades away

the clock it ticks

i turn my back

i feel the surface bulge and crack…

tick tick tock tick tock tick tick tick tock tick tock tick

SLAM!@#!@#

I WANT THE CHANNNNGGGEE

I FEEL THE CHANNNNNNGGGEE

then post-metamorphosis where do the answers lie

one above and one below with lions locked inside

then in silence they turn the key

setting all those lions free.e.eee.e

then i hold my head up higher and higher

reach out tentacles to every desire

i faced the sea and its time for a change

i am an octopus in flames

sinking underwater

sweating boiling getting hotter

bubbles burst between my fingers

my breath is cracked and drawn

sinking like an anvil

and facing several tentacles

my eyes go black and pop red cherries

the surface me is gone

GONE

IM GONE

GONE

IM GONE

GONE

IM GONE

GONE

IM GONE

im mesmerized -- a servant to the light u cant deny it with everyone standing here

im a million miles away

a change
