Swans – Animus (Guitar)

Cm                     Bb
Somewhere, through the frozen fields

Cm                 Bb
Somewhere, beneath your pale and tender skin

Cm            Bb
Lies a house, absorbing fear and pain

C#                     C             F
Solar, red, contained, feeding on my dreams

Cm              Bb
Somewhere cold, inside the optic wire

Cm                 Bb
Down where fingers and semen crack and bleed

Cm               Bb
There I will be, with my arms spread out and broken

C#                       C             F
Waiting for your breath, to animate my veins

Cm               Bb
We're not alone: all our thoughts are numbered

Cm                  Bb
Malignant and cold, animal and hungry

Cm                     Bb
But I will contain all that ever was or will be

C#                            C                F
Then I'll watch my skin erupt in a symphony of flames

Cm
Screaming out your name

Cm
Screaming out

Cm                      Bb
Why can't I hide inside your malleable electric face?

Cm                       Bb
You'd suck away the pain and swallow down my sickest dreams

Cm                          Bb
Now my body feels like snow spilling out the shattered screen

C#                    C                    F
Where will we be then when all the fear and blood are gone?

C#                       C            F
Drained into one hundred million open children's mouths

Cm
Screaming out your name

Cm
Screaming out

Cm
Screaming out
