HJARTAÐ HAMAST (engl.) Lyrics

THE HEART POUNDS

THE HEART POUNDS
AS ALWAYS
BUT NOW IS OUT OF BEAT
LOST AND FORGOTTEN
AT HOME

ABOUT TO BURST
--though the nose--
TURN THE SWEATY
--quilt--
STARE AT THE RUST
--that grows on me--
AND EATS ITSELT INTO
--the shell--

I STAND UP, I'M DIZZY
--I crumble away--
I GO BAREFOOT
--walk past myself--
AND DRESS MYSELF NAKED
--and then undress--
AWOKEN BUT SLEEPING
--can't get any sleep--

--Speak out loud--
--and travel within me--
--searching, I search for life--
--in place I stand for a while--
--with hope of wine--
--I gain a little time--
--search for a pretty good start--
--only to find disappointment--

THE HEART STOPS
--doesn't move--
I INSERT A PACEMAKER
--which I swallow and hide--
FIND A JUMPER CABLE
--and light myself up--
SEE EVERYTHING IN DOUBLE
--double black--

SYSTEM FAILURE
--the brain denies--
I KEEP ON SEARCHING
--the paths ease--
OUT OF CONTROL
--information--
I NEED TO FEED AGAIN
--feed myself--

--Speak out loud--
--and travel within me--
--searching, I search for life--
--in place I stand for a while--
--with hope of wine--
--I gain a little time--
--search for a pretty good start--
--only to find disappointment--
--only to find disappointment--
