Manchester Orchestra - Quietly

 

So now that they know
That you don't belong here
Where did you go?
And who else is in there?

I've been running behind, you're afraid that you're late
You were caught in a lie, I've been hiding my age

I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands

Been pulling this rope
Been trying to define you
Who did you hurt?
And baby, who hurt you?

You've been running behind, and I'm afraid you're too late
I've been losing the fight, and you've been acting insane

I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands

You stare at your fists, pistons violently shaking
Your plans got off track, but he clearly won't make it
Back home, or it's two people gnashing their blood-colored teeth
So you stare in the mist and you finally take it
Your plans had to change, you've been violent and vacant
I know who you are, look at me don't you dare try to leave
Oh

I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands 

 

Brother Bird ft. Manchester Orchestra - Before Dark

 

In the arms of a lover
Is an army of stone
With the touch of a mother
God sends radical sun

Please just be home before dark
I've given you all that I've got

There's a flame in the kitchen
A reflection of you
I keep it burning through the evening
Watch the wax drip all over my shoes

Please just be home before dark
I've given you all that I've got

Please come home

On a long desert highway
I can feel him slipping right through my hands
I don't know if heaven hears me
But I'm screaming as loud as I can
Screaming as loud as I can
I'm screaming

Please just be home before dark
I've given you all that I've got
Please just be home before dark

 

Manchester Orchestra - The Way

 

I think I'm losing my mind
Fear became the fentanyl
Hungry like the animal
I've been sleeping in
I see you're losing your light
Cut you into decimals
Drowning out the decibels
Screaming in your head

Do you wanna find the antidote?
Driving with the Holy Ghost
Holy death, the holy smoke
And does it start again?
I've been drinking from a periscope
Trying to watch my obstacles
See how fully I've been broke

And let me start again
Ooh
Ooh
Let me start again
Ooh
Ooh

I think I'm losing the line
The altar is inaudible
Dense and pathological
Capillary thread
When you run out of time
The soul becomes synodical
The weight is now phenomenal
And deafening again

Are you feeling like an anecdote?
Hovering to the hospital
Huffing fire and holy smoke
Does it start again?
I've been lost beyond the telescope
Goddamn diabolical
God forgive the prodigal

And let me start again
Ooh
Ooh
Let me start again
Ooh
Ooh

Now I
Have lost
My way
My way
Now I
Have lost
My way
The way

(Now I)
I think I finally found the antidote
(Have lost)
I've been lying to Holy Ghost
(My way)
Holy beds that fully broke
(The way)
Now let me start again
(Now I)
I've been sinking in the horoscope
(Have lost)
Love is never optional
(My way)
Holy death and holy smoke
(The way)
Let me start again
Ooh 

 

Manchester Orchestra - I Know How To Speak

 

I know how to speak
And I know where I'm going
I wanted to seek
But I got distracted

It's a mirage
One that leaves me embarrassed
Because no one knows me like you
You know there's nothing left for you
So I continually move
Try to pass it through for ya
Does that bore ya?

Asked about pain
It's timeless and honest
So let go of your shame
It's dead dampening blanket
It's a facade
Go back and look at your training

There's nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
I continue to move
Between the bank and the blanket
Don't fake it

I really am gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I really am gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul

I want your name
Burnt in my ceiling
Floats like a flame
An unpredictable wonder
You gave it all hope
That all of this is a circle

There's nobody else like you
So many that came before ya
This is the moment I choose
Between the hope and the harness
So be honest

I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart
In spite of my soul 

 

Manchester Orchestra - The Silence

 

Why do I deserve the silence
to feel better about you?
At a loss I lost my cool
I denied that I found you

I tried to be a basket case
I did not surprise you
I'm trying to find a signal fire
Let me know when I should move

But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me

Why do I desire the space?
I was mourning after you
I was lost and lost my shape
There was nothing I could do

I don't want to waste away
It was all I gave to you
Take me back and take my place
I will rise right up for you

But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me

All the while you waste away, you're asking
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection

There was nothing but quiet retractions
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there"
That was something your father had burned in me
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
You can go anywhere but you are where you came from

Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
There is nothing but darkness and agony
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memory
Let me hold you above all the misery
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
