I Was a Lid Lyrics by Manchester Orchestra

Let My Pride Be What’s Left Behind

2008

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
