Architecture of Amnesia - Gruff Rhys
Composed by:Gruff Rhys
Oh my fallen one
Let complacent to this safe
If I only could've been there
Then I would've seen the urge
And I'll carry you
Through the rhetoric and shells
Of exploding heads and sand bags
Thrown by bigots
Green by blue bands
Close the batons
Fill the jars
Seal the windows
Lock the doors
Paranoia will eclipse the rational and spill
Architecture of amnesia
Scare the people with hysteria
Architecture of amnesia
It's a battle monumental
And the narrative
Led the hungry to the arts
With a lure of false promises
A fear of touch
And they built a world
Switched on search lights on the brim
And invented their pariah
At which everyone was shouting
Close the batons
Stock the drawers
Seal the windows
Lock the doors
Take a bayonet and don't let anybody in
Architecture of amnesia
Scare the people with hysteria
Architecture of amnesia
It's a battle monumental
Drive
Drive of formation
Alienation
Alienation
Drive
Drive of formation
Alienation
Alienation
Drive
Drive of formation
Alienation
Alienation
Drive
Drive of formation
Alienation
Architecture of amnesia
Paranormal anaesthesia
Architecture of amnesia
History lessons dissappear
Architecture of amnesia
Scare the people
Scare the people with hysteria
Architecture of amnesia
It's a battle monumental
Oh oh oh oh oh
