Myths Made Plain - Bad Books/Manchester Orchestra/Kevin Devine
Lyrics by：Andy Hull/Kevin Devine
Composed by：Andy Hull/Kevin Devine
And I watch
And I watch
And I watch
And I
If you're wondering how we landed here
You were watching the waves and drinking beer
You don't even remember standing up
Truly I don't either
At some point you waded to your waist
As you slipped further out the stakes were raised
Finally you were surrounded and for what
A water darker and deeper
In nineteen ninety seven I became myself
And twenty minutes later I began to melt
The cycle I get used to in the course of time
The shifting definitions that comprise a life
The people I become and the people I don't recognize
If you're wondering who arranged the mess
Some exceptions were made to grant I guess
While we all let the peak of the parade
The underbelly went lethal
In two thousand and seven tried to build a bridge
Between how I was living and how I could live
Tricked myself into thinking I'd done enough
Once I got across I didn't blow it up
Yeah I closed some lanes
All it really takes is one opening
To tear apart all your works
So fine you are
Delicate un-achieve all your half-philosophy
Style points blind belief a whirling perpetuity
The ocean warm that knows you did the same before
So in twenty seventeen we did away with facts
All negotiation with a battle axe
The gruesome ideology is center shame
American identity was laid to waste
We're backlit and exposed
Sugar stripped and it's made clean
The people I become
The people I can't replicate
