The Velvet Teen - The Manifest lyrics

Love can be a royal menace Been reminiscing You were pretty, penniless With looks to k** a king You were blind, begging for change Well, just you wait and see Now we're making empty threats Yeah, pawn their vacancy We'd been ruling for years Really, what a waste We've been burning' love letters All that we wrote, erased We would turn in the manifest Now that we both could read We've been learning the terms we committed to Were meant for memory Like the sky, you were over me I know, we needed space I'd go to mars and make a record Curiosity I'll find another Life is ordered now For the exploring If you can take my chaos, baby I'll make your terrain We've been ruling for years I'm never far away We've been touring and tearing the veil Well since the millennium Baby girl, someday, someday 'cos i'm never far away We'll be burnin' the sheets We'll save on laundry Back in 1980, maybe Nah, i was never innocent I've been burnin' papers since 1997 We've been drinkin' free today Drunk on liberty I've been learning, been earning my confidence And my confidantes
