Amnesia Lyrics

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
(Amnesia)

And This City's A Crowded Room
And The Earth Is A Closing Tomb
In My Hand Is Your Perfect Womb
When You Breathe Your Breath Is Obscene
My Heart Is A Lead Box
Ideas Are Shutting Locks
The Air Was Just Turned Off
And You're Sucking From This Machine
(Amnesia)

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
The President's Mouth Is A Whore
When There's Murder The Audience Roars
There's No Room Left For The Strong
Everything Human's Necessarily Wrong:
(Amnesia)

Its better to forget what's been happening to you since the beginning of your life into the mankind because most of the life memories are utterly negative

The last verse has the more meaningful message to humanity, America, etc, whereas the other verses could be more personal. I agree, everything Human is wrong, at least it is commonly seen this way. We are as horrible as we are beautiful and for all our destructive tendencies there are plenty of positive and wonderful tendencies as well. However, even our good qualities are looked down upon. You are not encouraged to have emotions for their dangerous potential, you are not encouraged to be strong, you are not encouraged to be sensitive, passionate, loving, happy, alive...essentially human. We need to...
