MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT LYRICS

1. Quietly

I should have turned to you and said
"It's alright, darling someday you'll forget me"
And your eyes would have welled up with tears
I would have as well
So these days, a wandering mind holds sway
And hope is enough
Sing with me
Sing with me
Will you cry out for me in your sleep
Wasting what precious little time *we have had*
Like a dead man trying to find life
Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights
Like dead man trying to find life
Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights
The colour of her eyes
The taste of her flesh
I feel again
Quietly leave me
Quietly leave me
Again Again

2. Hate And Heartache

I don't have to tell you things are bad.
Everybody knows things are bad.
It's a depression.
Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.

Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.

We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy.

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore.
We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is,
'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.'

Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone.
I want you to get mad!

We all lie
To ourselves
It never changes a thing

We all lie to ourselves
Never changing
Never changing
A thing

Red wine and worry
The demons are watching us, washing lips
I feel sober [?]
Goddamn me and everything
The trials of hate and heartache
Are the martyr of my best days

I will destroy it all

3. Pine Boxes

Just remember this... feeling... emptiness....

4. Guilt And The Like

Your hands lay like stones
If you try to lift them
You drop them on your face
This is the moment things change
The moment things would never be the same
So you... you crawl and... upward
If you were here now, I'd cut you open
Because I don't want to feel anymore
I want it all to burn?
This guilt is all-seeing
Killing anyone
To the star?
We all ...
Until the end

5. Generation Of Ghosts

Days left of fall, the dimming light falls
Our fighting soldiers home to rest.
And shadows watching out,
To wage a raging war.
A victory for all I see.
Ashes crowd the air, as silence scars the air.
A history of dreams collide.

You can see it on their faces,
Smell it on their lips,
A generation of ghosts,
Lost and weak.
Fade away.
What little of love left within me,
Has been bled dry... and buried.

Ashes crowd the air, as silence scars the air.
A history of dreams collide.
A fallen friend then speaks,
A wasted round of dreams,
A history of dreams collide.

I will sing with the end of all things.

6. Rocking Chairs And Shotguns

Can you feel as... a body?
Can you feel as... a life?
Can you feel as... in the blood?

Nothing will end stretch out, crushing everything?

Lie there and bleed my friend
I want to be your body, your limbs
I want you to reach out and find nothing

7. Medicine

8. A Beautiful Corpse

A beautiful corpse sits waiting
So lost and silently breathing?
Our... and lies?
There is a knife ... in your neck
...is the bottle?
...the skin?
You'll never work?

One last time kiss these broken lips goodbye
Sweeter than honey and lies
