Lyrics A Million Exploding Suns - HORSE the Band

A Million Exploding Suns

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!
