Laura Marling - My Manic And I lyrics
He wants to die in a lake in Geneva
The mountains can cover the shape of his nose
He wants to die where nobody can see him
The beauty of his death will carry on so
I don’t believe him
He greets me with kisses
When good days deceive him
And sometimes it’s gone and sometimes I believe him
And sometimes I’m convinced
My friends think I’m crazy
I get scared and call him, but he’s usually hazy
By one in the morning, the day is not ended
By two he is scared
That sleep is no friend and
By four he will drink, but he cannot feel it
Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
And I don’t believe him
Morning is mocking me
I wander the streets, avoiding them eats
That the ring on my finger slips to the ground
A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city
The veins of which have broken me down
And I don’t believe him
Morning is mocking me
Oh the gods that he believes
Never fail to amaze me
He believes in the love, in his god of all things
But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins
The drugs that deceive him
And the girls that believe him
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill
And since last time we parted
Last that I saw him
Down by a river
Silent and hardened
Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky
I was just happy, my manic and I
He couldn’t see me; the sun was in his eyes
And birds were singing to calm us down
And birds were singing to calm us down
And I’m sorry, young man, I cannot be your friend
I don’t believe in a fairytale end
I don’t keep my head up all of the time
I find it dull when my heart meets my mind
And I hardly know you, I think I can tell
These are the reasons I think that we're ill
I hardly know you, I think I can tell
These are the reasons I think that I'm ill
And the gods that he believes
Never fail to disappoint me
The gods that he believes
Never fail to disappoint me
And as my happy man
My Manic and I
Have no plans to move on
And the birds are singing to calm us down
And the birds are singing to calm us down
