Manchester Orchestra - Annie lyrics

I thought this time I might
Just walk away from you
You were a thief, yeah, and I was the proof
But you don't ever cry
So no telling the truth
The first time that I tried to
Run away from you
You gave me a list, said, "Now, baby
You choose" but it wasn't engraved
It felt more like a bruise

Oh, I wasn't ashamed then of my degree
The fear that I once paid for now was free
But I wasn't afraid then of who I'd become
In a desperate vain attempt to talk to God
I saw, I saw

Now I'm the same, lost my decree
And it paid for you
I was a liar, I was stuck in the fog
Yeah, and you were turnеd around
I was pretty much lost
I'm the first of four that tried
To cast away from you
Into thе dark, you were a spear
I was holding your head
You were watching me kneel

I was barely born then i was hardly evolved
I was pacing back and forth
To calm the squall so I ran out of reasons
Of places to fall
Would you take my heart and
Nail it to your wall? I saw, I saw

Once you reach the top it takes your air
Are you hollow? Are you holl-lower than you
Think you've ever been? Are you hollow?
Are you hollow?

I don't want to believe it
Stuck in my thought
I've been trying to replicate
The mask of God now I'm starting to feel it
Now the guilt's falling off
When I turned my eyes around
I learned to talk i saw, I saw
