Touché Amoré, Manchester Orchestra, Andy Hull - Limelight lyrics

We sway like brittle branches
One gust and to earth we come
I’m grinning because I know
I’m grinning just because
Taking orders never suited me
Saying no just for the thrill
But tonight we’re moving slowly
While the cavalry moves in for the kill
Moves in for the kill moves in for the kill

I’m tired and I’m sore
(sore, sore, sore, sore)
I’m not so young anymore (anymore, anymore)
Worn down, but I imagine
(sore, sore, sore, sore)
This uniform stays in fashion

We’ve poured ourselves in these
Sweet white dying dogs
Some nights not kissing
Some nights just because if we hear a crash
We can only expect the worst
But tonight we’re moving fast
While the party resumes the search
Resumes the search resumes the search

I’m tired and I’m sore
(sore, sore, sore, sore)
I’m not so proud anymore (anymore, anymore)
Worn down, but I’ve decided
(sore, sore, sore, sore)
It’s open casket you’re all invited

My head in your lap
From the wandering blackout
The touch of your hand
You’re the last one to back out
There’s nothing to argue
There’s only a title
The worst’s yet to come well
The worst’s not invited

I make separate fists while
I swallowed the pride
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
I am haunting an old roll of telephone wires
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
It’s not how it was but
It’s not getting lighter
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
The weight is immaculate
The depth is inspired
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)

It’s let in, eyes tired
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
I hold waste, stop fires
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
I want hope, faith higher
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
I’m lost now, loss tires
(So let’s embrace the twilight
While burning out the limelight)
