Citizen Erased
Muse Lyrics
Break me in, teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up
What shouldn't be shared
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
Self-expressed, exhausting for all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need
The truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They will only bring us pain
And I've seen, all I'll ever need

When i’m dead this will be the outro of my funeral.
With the perfect ending ,when my coffin leaves the room;
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They will only bring us pain
And I've seen, all I'll ever need.........

I can't explain in words how I feel when listening to this song. it's incredible.
Vincent Serrano
I couldn't agree with you more, Pal , a very special song, what's mad Muse started in 1994 !! They might have just released one if their best songs only a couple of weeks ago , fantastic
