lyrics
Roll the dice
I'm going in to claim my name
The race is on
Fire away
Labyrinth of sliding doors
The choice is mine
Where I go becomes who I am
I am my father's eyes
I am my mother's heart
I am my brother's hands
And the chance
Of soft, safe ground
Anything I become
Will affect everyone
Everything I have done
Will remain under the sun
Dreams come undone like paper
Under city lights we flock to play
Broken horses
Oh let's play like broken horses
Here's my shot
Fail me not
I place my bets
Don't hesitate
No time to waste
Cover me, my hands are stiff and trembling cold
Cover me this once for I have lost control
Cover me for I'm about to stake my soul
It's in the woods
It's in the breeze
It's heading fast over hills and seas
It's in the branches and all the leaves
It's under ground and above the trees
It's in the air upon my skin
Beneath the crust and the cage I'm in
It's in the streets
It's all there is
And all around
And from afar I see the lights of shooting stars
Oh if you were only among them
I would let you go see our lives from up above
And way down I'd still be here playing
Broken horses
Oh I'd be playing broken horses
