ALBUM: Manners (5 of 11)

Lyrics:

My world astir and sickly

Spits out our voices, signing

Tra la la la, oh, no no

To kingdom come so slightly

Here in the void in your place

I twitch and tweak in illusion

To sit and stare so blankly

Until all hope is used up

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?

Where do you go when I'm around?

What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?

And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Some guarded room, smoky figure fills me full

Makes my head swell in ruin

My family kneels at the pew

They nod, "We believe in what you're doing"

I feel it rise above me

The western landscapes, towering

And from my shell of a body

The flowers blossom for picking

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?

Where do you go when I'm around?

What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?

And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey

I've waited and waited for someone to take it

Don't fight it, don't bother, an inch for another

Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together

I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing

I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction

I've painted your patterns but found them attractive

Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid

Thrown up through the darkness, your eyes as my candles

And your life, and my life, directions can render

And all of a sudden you left me to handle

The reasons that never forbid me to step out

And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret

To say it aloud without actually breathing
