i know how to speak

The Manchester Orchestra

I know how to speak
And I know where I'm going
I wanted to seek
But I got distracted

It's a mirage
That leaves me embarrassed
Because no one knows me like you
You know there's nothing left for you
So I continually move
Try to pass it through for ya

The past about pain
Is timeless and honest
Let go of your shame
It's a dead dampening blanket
It's a facade
Back and look at your training

There's nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
So I continue to move
Try to pass it through for ya

I want your name
It's burnt in my ceilings
And I want it all
An unpredictable wonder
You gave it all hope
That all of this is a circle
