Manchester Orchestra - After The Scripture lyrics

After the scripture

We started to pray

Holdin' our hands up

Waitin' for change

I hardly knew you

You knew me the same

So we built a shelter

While we turned the weak away

Your mother beside me

Rattlin' her brain

Makin' an offering

Pacing the pain

We took a picture

Placed it in frame

We built a fire

And we turned the cold away


And I know it's not

What you desire

This pain can't crumble

Won't soon retire


Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire

Put away the positives and let that good girl die

Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh

So I paced around the backyard for awhile


That was bee sting

A speck in my eye

A casual movement

A thief in the night

Now I can't forget you

Sword in my side

Candle that burned me

Deliver me light


And I know it's not

What you desire

This pain can't crumble

Won't soon retire






Manchester Orchestra - The Ocean lyrics

Will some boy would not told

He still watching in class, Im the first one to know

That day its never made as the last in my kind

Fucking tricks by my trade

How, how, now,

I get into the ocean, the ocean

Then I hope you dont show

Gonna last passive word that you keep in your frog

Its so cool to be you when I walking around

Like a shit out of screw


Ooh I get into the ocean, the ocean

Ooh I get into the ocean, the ocean


And I am too toast, how knows

Well I know, what I do

Its not yours

Its not yours

Ooh I give into the ocean, the ocean

Ooh I give into the ocean, the ocean


Ooh I give into the ocean, the ocean

Ooh I give into the ocean, the ocean






Manchester Orchestra - Choose You lyrics

Still pick up kids and he got a name

And no bother to see you

They decide which one to leave this place and wich one get to stay here

But they can,

It's the fast kids out here and it's hipping a tonner

That's way to resolve it

We should reap on this towers by the blustery plots

When was all in choset

Start to look up and down and I can't stop to be wise

Turn you up underneath the...

And all be '

But all this is


All that I know it's the way you fix it

All I know it's the way you fix it

All that I know it's the way you fix it

All I know it's the way you fix it


And do we really matter when it comes to

It only matter when it happens close to sense

Try to go away... what you found to go away

Just because I see a ghost won't put a shadow on ym wall

Try to hide, leave all, keep on


All that I know it's the way you fix it

All I know it's the way you fix it

All that I know it's the way you fix it

All I know it's the way you fix it






Manchester Orchestra - Top Notch lyrics

There's two twin deaf kids and they've gotta make

An ungodly decision

They decide which one gets to leave this place

And which one will forsake it, to make it

So, the first kid says in his temporal tone,

"I don't think there's a way to resolve this.

We should wrap up these towels round our blistering bones.

Wait it out in the closet."


His brother looks him up and down and prophesied

How all of this should end

Said they're buried underneath the yard

And no one ever listens... or visits.


All that I know, it's no way to fix it [x4]


Did it really matter how it happened when it did?

Cause when it happened, you reacted with an apathetic wind

So she tried to wash it out but that's a stain that won't dissolve

And we all believed in ghosts until you walked into the wall


So give up! [x4]


All that I know, it's no way to fix it [x4]






Band Of Skulls - Be Mine lyrics

I've done you wrong

And my life won't go on

I'll be yours

I'll be yours

If you'll be mine

Cruel to be kind

In symmetrical time

I'll be yours

I'll be yours

If you'll be mind


Hit with me your love baby

Be mine

Time ain't enough baby

To find

Hit me with your love

Be mine

All our future's in the past


Why do you threaten

To love me and leave me

Then take me back

Only to find

I'll be yours

I'll be yours

If you'll be mine


Hit me with your love

Be mine

Oh, time ain't enough, baby

To find

All our future's in the past


Hit me with your love

Be mine

Oh, time ain't enough,

To find

All our future's in the past






Band Of Skulls - Toreador lyrics

Feeling doubt for the toreador

You are away to

Soon as you wait to

Drip all that hate through

Fate comes and sings to

Meaningless rush to


Let me go at him

Straight to my heart

Let me go at him

Straight to my heart






Nickel Creek - Where Is Love Now? lyrics

If I could wait here for you,

Without hope or knowing what to do…

Watch the light fade away,

Without fear or knowing what to say…

Cry the tears from my eyes.

Leave me here long enough to realize.

Where is love now?

Where is love now,

Out here in the dark?


If I should hold all my dreams,

Through the night of the way life sometimes seems…

And if I can't see which way to go,

I'll stay lost in silence 'til I know.

Cry the tears from my eyes.

And leave me here long enough to realize.


Where is love now?

Where is love now,

Out here in the dark?


Cry the tears from my eyes.

Leave me here long enough to realize.


Where is love now?

Where is love now?

Where is love now?

Where is love now,

Out here in the dark?

Out here in the dark?
