The Silence Lyrics - Manchester Orchestra

Why do I deserve the science 

to feel better about you? 

At a loss I lost my cool 

I denied that I found you 

I tried to be a basket case 

I did not surprise you 

I'm trying to find a signal fire 

Let me know when I should move 

But you, amplified in the silence 

Justified in the way you make me bruise 

Magnified in the science 

Anatomically proved that you don't need me

Why do I desire the space? 

I was mourning after you 

I was lost and lost my shape 

There was nothing I could do 

I don't want to waste away 

It was all I gave to you 

Take me back and take my place 

I will rise right up for you 

But you, amplified in the silence 

Justified in the way you make me bruise 

Magnified in the science 

Anatomically proved that you don't need me 

All the while you waste away, you're asking 

"Did I really need another one to take me down?" 

Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling 

Nobody's gonna tear you down now 

There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection 

Photos 

There was nothing but quiet retractions 

And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" 

That was something your father had burned in me 

Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity 

You can go anywhere but you are where you came from 

Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry 

There is nothing but darkness and agony 

I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking 

Let me watch you as close as a memory 

Let me hold you above all the misery 

Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
