Manchester Orchestra - I Can Barely Breathe lyrics

when the dark flood came we wrapped ourselves inside a dirty blanket citing different opinions on whether we should move when the houses came they ate up everyone like they were fishes saying, "come on, come on its the end of the world" and then i saw your face you're turning skin into a dirty secret i watched the beauties, watched the fire and the fire burn the beauty in their eyes when i took the blame we layed in ruins trying to quote your phrase we're yelling, "someone's got the answers, but i'd rather think there's nothing to be found" if you knew i was dying would it change you? so when you see me falling backwards down the wall that says i'm still alive, don't be cautious when i'm cautiously approaching on the other side everybody has their reasons, thats the reason we're all going to die because if seeing is believing, then believe that we have lost our eyes when i fly solo, i fly so high don't touch me now. we all deserve something
