Architecture of Amnesia Lyrics by Gruff Rhys

Babelsberg

2018

[Verse 1]
Oh, my fallen one
Let complacent to the surface
And if I only could've been there
Then I would've seen the urge
And I'll carry you
Through the rhetoric and shells
Of exploding heads and sand bags
Thrown by bigots, green by blue bands
[Pre-Chorus]
Close the batons, fill the jars
Seal the windows, lock the doors
Paranoia will eclipse the rational and spill
[Chorus]
Architecture of amnesia
Scare the people with hysteria
Architecture of amnesia
It's a battle monumental
[Verse 2]
And the narrative
Led the hungry to the arts
With a lure of false promises, a fear of touch
And they built a world
Switched on search lights on the brim
And invented their pariah, at which everyone was shouting
[Pre-Chorus]
Close the batons, stock the drawers
Seal the windows, lock the doors
Take a bayonet and don't let anybody in
[Chorus]
Architecture of amnesia
Scare the people with hysteria
Architecture of amnesia
It's a battle monumental
[Bridge]
Drive of formation, alienation
Drive of formation, alienation
Drive of formation, alienation
Drive of formation, alienation
[Chorus]
Architecture of amnesia
Paranormal anaesthesia
Architecture of amnesia
History lessons dissappear
Architecture of amnesia
Scare the people with hysteria
Architecture of amnesia
It's a battle monumental
