Amnesia
Algis Kizys Lyrics

The sun is an acid eye
The sun's rays are painful and intrusive, like acid on our eyes

We're corroded with pleasure inside
Our indulgences and hedonistic lifestyles have left us emotionally and morally drained

There's a hole in your thin white skin
Your vulnerability and fragility are exposed, and can never be fully healed

Now we'll never be clean again
Our sins and mistakes are permanent, and we cannot wash them away

Our hands are two broken claws
Our hands are mangled and worn out from constant struggle and work

We scrape at the ground for hours
We toil endlessly and tirelessly for something that may never come

I buried this sound in the floor
I suppressed my emotions and hid my true feelings deep down

To gain control of this feeling
To try and manage and cope with the overwhelming emotions that I cannot ignore

(Amnesia)
Trying to forget or block out painful memories and thoughts

And this city's a crowded room
The city is overwhelming and claustrophobic, like being trapped in a cramped space

And the earth is a closing tomb
The world is deteriorating and dying, like a tomb that is closing in and suffocating us

In my hand is your perfect womb
You represent purity and potential, a hope for a better future

When you breathe your breath is obscene
Even the most basic and natural actions, like breathing, are tainted and dirty

My heart is a lead box
My emotions are heavy and oppressive, weighing me down and suffocating me

Ideas are shutting locks
My creative energy and original thoughts are being restricted and silenced

The air was just turned off
The atmosphere is tense and suffocating, like the oxygen has been cut off

And you're sucking from this machine
You are complicit in the destruction and decay of our world, like a machine that is draining our resources

(Amnesia)
Trying to forget or block out painful memories and thoughts

The sun will not rise today
There is no hope for a new dawn or a better future

You children will stay where you lay
The youngest and most vulnerable in our society are helpless and trapped in their circumstances

The oil is black and it's thick
The resources we rely on are dirty and polluting, further harming our world

And sex is a void filled with plastic
Even our desire and intimacy are cheapened and artificial, lacking in real connection

The president's mouth is a whore
Our leaders are corrupt and immoral, selling their values and beliefs for personal gain

When there's murder the audience roars
Violence and horror are exploited for entertainment and pleasure

There's no room left for the strong
Even the powerful and capable are struggling and overwhelmed by the state of the world

Everything human's necessarily wrong:
Being human, with all our flaws and mistakes, is inherently flawed and problematic

(Amnesia)
Trying to forget or block out painful memories and thoughts
