Manchester Orchestra - The River lyrics

I fought the spirit with a sword in my side
Cheat, wanted a way out, crack my rib
Wait to die
I think I know you the best when I sleep
I think I know everything

Me and my brothers
We have tongues sharp as knives
I found a way out, make a noise
Close your eyes
I think I talk to you best when I sing
I sing about almost everything

Oh, God I need it so let me sing again
Take me to the river and let me see again

Oh my God let me see again
Oh my God let me see again
Let me see again

Grace taught a debtor
Daily I'm strained to be god how I feel it
Fetter pride to your feet

I'm going to leave you the first chance I get
I'm going to leave you the first chance I get
I'm going to leave you the first chance I bet
I'm going to leave you the first chance I get

And oh God, I need it well I was wrong again
Take me to the river and make me clean again

Oh my God make me clean again
Oh my God let me see again
