The Alien Lyrics - Manchester Orchestra

The lights were low enough you guessed 

You swapped your conscience with your father's medication 

Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville 

And on the way wrote out a self made declaration 

And when you got to Pleasant Hill 

You forced the traffic to erase your family demons 

And made a pact with you and God 

If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya 

Do you need me? 

Do you need me? 

Do you need me? 

Do you need me?

When the first officer arrived 

It happened to be the high school bully of your brother 

When you finally recognised 

You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you 

"Can you hear me, what's your name?" 

You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage 

As the high school's letting out 

All the kids are saying the same thing that they used to 

It's an alien 

It's an alien 

It's an alien 

It's an alien

The lights are low enough you guessed 

Hospital food, there's never enough medication 

The doctor asked about your ears 

You said your mom said you were made from a revelation 

The revelation never scares 

Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors 

"Were you just finally letting go?" 

"Did you mean to take out all those people with you?" 

Didn't mean to 

Didn't mean to 

Didn't mean to 

Didn't mean to 

Oh I didn't mean to 

Oh I didn't mean to 

Oh I didn't mean to 

Oh I didn't mean to 

Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own 

Time is here to take you by the hand, and leave you there alone 

Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it into stone 

Time has come to take you by the hand, and leave you here alone
