I Was A Lid
Manchester Orchestra

i was a lid on a house we barely speak ofnfolded again i could see myself insidenand i was amazed how a god could know my first namenand you amazed at the difference in my speech 2, 3, 4nnso what of your words did i know you would deceive menand what better in for a calmness in my sidenso i made a way from a ? godspeednand what a debate do you still know my full namennand i was the one that decided to light you on firenand you were a tree with a root that was wrapped in my brainnso build me a sign make me know that you speak of a bodynoh do do you plead do do you plead do do you plead pleasenni had a thought i did your house up faking causesnand i needn't a word i am the saddest version yetnso what is the price i pay to be this wrong ?ni was the man that claimed to see but now i'm notnni am afraid of the good and bad beneath menso give me a sign for the angels on my feetni was a man yeah i swear i was a mannso keep me alive for the angels in my feetnncause i am a way for a man to rid his skin cleannso send me a sign for the ones who need my seed (seat)nnand i had a dream i killed our familiesnand you were the one i hoped you blamenand i felt a baby in your stomachni knew who he was but he had no name
