Empires To Ashes

Panopticonology
Underneath flourescent lights like a sun-baked sky, they flicker off lenses of Cameras watching, I just need an escape from the hand of safety This gun in my hands and the light in my eyes, if we can't trust ourselves Who's to blame? Oh God, I can feel the blood rushing out. You made my heart this cold In the panoramic skyline. You see my legs and mark my arms But never meet my eyes. We can live forever in the back of photographs Graphs of future heart attacks. Did you hear we're growing old? Can you even look at your face any more? We're cutting losses and turning back. I used to be so brilliant but The brains I need to get out I've smashed against the walls. To break in the heat and the white light, what do you expect What do you see, five months in this nighttime, I scour this room The priest and his book the judge and his robes, divested of lies I wait for the dawn.. I'll burn in the dawn I can my heart this cold SongtexteIt'll shatter all you wanted I've seen things you'll never dream of Heaven and on earth Live forever in the background of photographs Graphs of future heart attackers Did you hear that we've grown old? Your future scene, bought and sold. We're cutting losses and turning back. Nightmares laced with railroad tracks. My mind is broken from the tax Of staring through these walls. A final exhale, my eyes have been locked to the sun After a lifetime of watching I thought the gallows would be so high They were placed on the ground The crowd's gaping wide Please bask in my guilt, let me share in your hate Of these life fucking sins Of these God damning lies, just ink on the page I, in a parting shot Here's something to mark down As this final floor drops Please tell Marie I never loved her Live forever in the background of photographs Graphs of future heart attackers Did you hear that we've grown old? Your future scene, bought and sold. We're cutting losses and turning back. Nightmares laced with railroad tracks. My mind is broken from the tax Of staring through these walls. Aus Songtexte Mania
