Fire-Mare - Owen Pallett

Oh, I never learned how to hate

I never learned how to be hated

Can it be controlled?

Can anything be controlled?

It hurts like a cancer in me

But in every room I still can feel his ghost

Blood rushing around us

Like a herd of phantom horses

I will burn every place that we entered

And I will burn away this hatred within me

And when I sleep I will dream about a dove on the wind I’ll dream about a child

And the words I would say to his father and mother

Owen are you there?

End this nightmare I’m in

Rush to my arms in the morning

And meet me out on the same platform

How badly I wish for it

That we can be angels and not this bullshit

And I will burn every place that we entered

And I will burn away this hatred within me

We had no future

And if I was in love it had no story

Love it will forget, love has already

And if I was in love now I am nothing

I’ll dream about a dove on the wind

I’ll dream about a child

And the words I would say to his father and mother

Oh, I never learned how to hate

I never learned how to be hated

Can it be controlled?

Can anything be controlled?

It hurts like a cancer in me

But in every room I still can feel his ghost

Blood rushing around us

Like a herd of phantom horses
