After The Scripture Lyrics - Cope - Manchester Orchestra

After the scripture 

We started to pray 

Holdin' our hands up 

Waitin' for change 

I hardly knew you 

You knew me the same 

So we built a shelter 

While we turned the weak away 

Your mother beside me 

Rattlin' her brain 

Makin' an offering 

Pacing the pain 

We took a picture 

Placed it in frame 

We built a fire 

And we turned the cold away

And I know it's not 

What you desire 

This pain can't crumble 

Won't soon retire 

Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire 

Put away the positives and let that good girl die 

Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh 

So I paced around the backyard for awhile 

That was bee sting 

A speck in my eye 

A casual movement 

A thief in the night 

Now I can't forget you 

Sword in my side 

Candle that burned me 

Deliver me light 

Photos 

And I know it's not 

What you desire 

This pain can't crumble 

Won't soon retire
