Passion Pit Manners Lyrics
1.Make Light


2.Little Secrets

when i came down the dawn poured into me
i shook em up, the walls came crumbling
my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb

now baby wait looks like a lovely face
i built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
who let it said that youre my favorite sphere
within the confines of such chemistry

its the way i see
everything i need
its the way to be

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher

my face blew up at such a casual sight
this miracle is of ecstatic fright
theyll rush above me to oblivion
outlining white sidewalks with halogen

oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong
how come it takes some people so damn long
he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
the citrus drawing out the seasons stains

watch the basin drain
as your life lines wane
and you cant explain
as your friends complain

youve caused all this pain
and you proudly shame
your whole families name

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher

mother i can tell what youve been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
and now ive hit the mark
staring at the dark
and i cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up and keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up and keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher


3.Moth's Wings

Dear friend as you know
Your flowers are withering
Your mother's gone insane
Your leaves have drifted away
But the clouds are clearing up
And I've come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea

You're just like your father
Buried deep beneath the water
Your pressing on your laurel
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground

You come beating like moth's wings
Spastic and violently
Whipping me into a storm
Shaking me down to the core
But you run away from me
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor

You're just like your father
Buried deep beneath the water
You're pressing on your laurel
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground.

You're just like your father
Buried deep beneath the water
You're pressing on your laurel
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground.


4.The Reeling

We dug these holes we crawled into
Now they're my home
Now here I cannot feel the wind,
can't feel the rain
And I believe in gentle harmony
How I loathe all this obscenity
Is the way my lifes got to be
by a single opportunity

Look at me, oh look at me,
is this the way I've always been
Oh no, oh no
Now I'm dreaming somebody
would simply come and kidnap me
Oh no, oh no
Cos everyday I lie awake
and pray to God today's the day
Oh no, oh no
Here I am, here I am,
when will someone understand
Oh no, oh no

And all at once I feel this,
oh how it clings to me
It reels and calls me towards it,
confounding destiny
And I can feel the magnets pinch my hands
The more I run the more I am convinced
A girl who ???
Just like we settle in the foggy mist

Look at me, oh look at me,
is this the way I've always been
Oh no, oh no
Now I'm dreaming somebody
would simply come and kidnap me
Oh no, oh no
Cos everyday I lie awake
and pray to God today's the day
Oh no, oh no
Here I am, here I am,
when will someone understand
Oh no, oh no

Look at me, oh look at me,
is this the way I've always been
Oh no, oh no
Now I'm dreaming somebody
would simply come and kidnap me
Oh no, oh no
Cos everyday I lie awake
and pray to God today's the day
Oh no, oh no
Here I am, here I am,
when will someone understand
Oh no, oh no


5.Eyes As Candles

My world is stirring sickly
spits out our voices singing,
'Sha la la, oh, no no,'
to kingdom come so slightly.
Here in the void in your place,
I twitch and tweak illusions
to sit and stare so blankly
into our whole confused house.

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

Some unguarded room:
a smoky figure fills me full,
makes my head swell and move.
My family kneels at the pew,
They nod, 'We believe in what you're doing!'
I feel you rise above me,
the western landscape's towering,
and from my shell of a body
the flowers blossom for picking.

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done, what have I got that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
I've painted your problems but found them attractive.
Now I've been leaning towards a life far more caring,
thrown back through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
and your life, and my life, directions can render.
And all of a sudden you left me to handle
the reasons that never forbid me to step out.
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
To say it aloud without actually breathing.


6.Swimming In The Flood


7.Folds In Your Hands

leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
im fine
ill be fine until the morning comes
then unmask me in the blistering sun

oh let me go
just let me go
just let me go
or ill
burst in front of your eyes
then collect myself from the ground

and when i go
and when i go
just let me go
like a light
flickering out in the skies
lost as fast as was found

everythings easy when you never have to choose
with the balances shifting it refers to you
like the sun and the moon i will circle you til you bloom
i will crush our love let it burn until i get to you

lay low
dont let me know what is real
we'll be quietly following you
will they take me as their own
now i will hold you
i will keep you up
and show my love
until it folds in my hands
but ill build it back to the top

everythings easy when you never have to choose
with the balances shifting it refers to you
like the sun and the moon i will circle you til you bloom
i will crush our love let it burn until i get to you

feel it rain
feel it rain
my love
feel it rain
feel it rain
feel it rain
my love
feel it rain
feel it rain
feel it rain
my love
feel it rain
feel it rain
feel it rain
my love
feel it rain


8.To Kingdom Come

That's a frosty way to speak,
To tell me how to live next to your purple ring.
All this talking pulls my teeth.
I believed in you, so you believed in

Me, I cried, I'm calm, you dip me in the dark.
I felt a hush come crying from my spine.
So now I hide in piles amongst the orange peels.
It feels the way you told me how it always feels.

Once I had an name to call you.
It scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint.
I wish for the same old things that turn me inside out.
Hearing is a strain, it's a game!

Me, I cried, I'm calm, you dip me in the dark.
I felt a hush come crying from my spine.
So now I hide in piles amongst the orange peels.
It feels the way you told me how it always feels.

Never have I ever been
Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin,
But that's the kind of state I'm in:
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine.

'Come, come,' I hear it calling me, yelling,
Like if ever there was someone
who could make things heavy again.
Feel alive!

Me, I cried, I'm calm, you dip me in the dark.
I felt a hush come crying from my spine.
So now I hide in piles amongst the orange peels.
It feels the way you told me how it always feels.

Me, I cried, I'm calm, you dip me in the dark.
I felt a hush come crying from my spine.
So now I hide in piles amongst the orange peels.
It feels the way you told me how it always feels.


9.Sleepyhead

And you said it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I drag you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
They'll try to rely in for all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls against your rules against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes but go in disguise like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead


10.Let Your Love Grow Tall


11.Seaweed Song

Some day you'll see
Surrounded by angels
Floating atop of the sea
On banded knees
Don't go where they go
Don't sing all the songs they sing

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew

Between these walls
Her back, strange glimpse, casts shadows frighteningly tall
I slow to a crawl
I jump and I yell but she hears nothing at all

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew

Stay, stay the same
'Cause everything else will change
And I've always been to blame
So please just stay the same

The currents pull me in
The tide has reached my chin
The seaweed tickles skin
Just let the water win
I'm freezing to the bone
You'll never be at home
Just watch, you're running out
Just watch your body go

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
