Manic Street Preachers - Mausoleum lyrics
[Manic Street Preachers - Mausoleum lyrics]
Whatever you see will be rotting flesh
Humanity recovered glittering etiquette
Answers her crimes with mausoleum rent
Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind, your success inspires
And analyse, despise, and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Your meaning, your meaning
No birds no birds
The sky is swollen black no birds
No birds holy mass of dead insects
I come and I walk down memory lane
No one sees a thing but they can pretend
Life, eternal scorched grass and the trees
For your love, nature has haemorrhaged
Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind, your success inspires
And analyse, despise, and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Your meaning, your meaning
No birds no birds
The sky is swollen black no birds
No birds holy mass of dead insect
"I wanted to, um, rub the human
Face in it's own vomit
And force it to look in the mirror"
And life can be as important as death
But so mediocre when there's
No air, no light, and no hope
Prejudice burns brighter when it's all
We have to burn
The world lances youth's lamb-like winter
Winter
