Amnesia (leaving Meaning.) Lyrics

by Swans

[Verse 1]
The sun is an acid eye
We're corroded with pleasure inside
There's a hole in your thin white skin
Now we'll never be clean again
Our hands are two broken claws
We scrape at the ground for hours
I buried this sound in the floor
To gain control of this feeling

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e127193-swans~amnesia_leaving_meaning_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
Amnesia

[Verse 2]
And this city's a crowded room
The earth is a closing tomb
My hand is a perfect womb
When you breathe, your breath is obscene
Ooh...
My heart is a lead box
Ideas are shutting locks
The air was just turned off
Now you're sucking from this machine

[Chorus]
Amnesia
Amnesia

[Verse 3]
The sun will not rise today
You children will stay where you lay
The oil is black and it's thick
And sex is a void filled with plastic
Ooh... wah
The President's mouth is a whore
When there's murder, the audience roars
There's no room left here for the strong
And everything human's necessarily wrong

[Bridge]
Wrong, wrong
Wrong, wrong
Wrong, wrong
Wrong

[Chorus]
Amnesia
