Swans - Animus lyrics
[Swans - Animus lyrics]
Somewhere, through the frozen fields
Somewhere, beneath your pale and tender skin
Lies a house, absorbing fear and pain
Solar, red, contained, feeding on my dreams
Somewhere cold, inside the optic wire
Down where fingers and semen crack and bleed
There I will be
With my arms spread out and broken
Waiting for your breath, to animate my veins
We're not alone: all our
Thoughts are numbered
Malignant and cold, animal and hungry
But I will contain all that
Ever was or will be
Then I'll watch my skin erupt
In a symphony of flames
Screaming out your name screaming out
Why can't I hide inside
Your malleable electric face?
You'd suck away the pain and
Swallow down my sickest dreams
Now my body feels like snow
Spilling out the shattered screen
Where will we be then when all
The fear and blood are gone?
Drained into one hundred million
Open children's mouths
Screaming out your name screaming out
Screaming out
Somewhere, beneath your pale and tender skin
Lies a house, absorbing fear and pain
Solar, red, contained, feeding on my dreams
Somewhere cold, inside the optic wire
Down where fingers and semen crack and bleed
There I will be
With my arms spread out and broken
Waiting for your breath, to animate my veins
We're not alone: all our
Thoughts are numbered
Malignant and cold, animal and hungry
But I will contain all that
Ever was or will be
Then I'll watch my skin erupt
In a symphony of flames
Screaming out your name screaming out
Why can't I hide inside
Your malleable electric face?
You'd suck away the pain and
Swallow down my sickest dreams
Now my body feels like snow
Spilling out the shattered screen
Where will we be then when all
The fear and blood are gone?
Drained into one hundred million
Open children's mouths
Screaming out your name screaming out
Screaming out
