Cover art for I Was A Lid lyrics by Manchester Orchestra

once again another amazing song. here's what i heard...

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
