Lyrics Manchester Orchestra

Manchester Orchestra

I Was a Lid

I was a lid on a house we barely speak of

Folded again I could see myself inside

And I was amazed how a god could know my first name

And you amazed at the difference in my speech 2, 3, 4

So what of your words did I know you would deceive me

And what better in for a calmness in my side

So I made a way from a godspeed

And what a debate do you still know my full name

And I was the one that decided to light you on fire

And you were a tree with a root that was wrapped in my brain

So build me a sign make me know that you speak of a body

Oh do do you plead do do you plead do do you plead please

I had a thought I did your house up faking causes

And I needn't a word I am the saddest version yet

So what is the price I pay to be this wrong ?

I was the man that claimed to see but now i'm not

I am afraid of the good and bad beneath me

So give me a sign for the angels on my feet

I was a man yeah I swear I was a man

So keep me alive for the angels in my feet

Cause I am a way for a man to rid his skin clean

So send me a sign for the ones who need my seed (seat)

And I had a dream I killed our families

And you were the one I hoped you blame

And I felt a baby in your stomach

I knew who he was but he had no name
