Octopus On Fire Lyrics - Horse

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
