Manchester Orchestra - No Ears lyrics

The lights were low enough, you guessed
You swapped your conscience with
Your fathers medication
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
And on the way wrote out
A self made declaration

And when you got to Pleasant Hill
You forced the traffic to
Erase your family demons
And made a pact with you and god
If you don't move I swear to
You I'm gonna make ya

Do you need me? Do you need me?
Do you need me? Do you need me?

When the first officer arrived
It happened to be the high
School bully of your brother
When you finally recognized
You felt some guilt that he had
Even let him touch you

Can you hear me? What's your name?
You could not speak just laid
Amazed at all the damage
And as the high school's letting out
All the kids are saying the same
Thing that they used to

It's an alien it's an alien
It's an alien it's an alien

The lights were low enough you guessed
Hospital food
And there's never enough medication
The doctor asks about your ears
You said your mom said you
Were made from a revelation

The revelation never scares
Your fear came from your drunken dad
And a pair of scissors
Were you just finally letting go?
Did you want to take out
All those people with you?

Didn't mean to didn't mean to
Didn't mean to didn't mean to
