About

This song has a much deeper and darker meaning than what it looks like.

Citizen Erased Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Break me in
Teach us to cheat
And to lie, and cover up
What shouldn't be shared

[Pre-Chorus]
And the truth's unwinding, scraping away

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Verse 2]
Self-expressed
Exhausting for all
To see and to be

[Pre-Chorus]
And the truth's unwinding, scraping away
At my mind, please stop asking me to describe

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They'll only bring us pain
And I've seen all I'll ever need
