Manifest*

[Verse 1]
If life is one long goodbye, let's exit French
Leave the clothes to hang dry till God knows when
Wanna live in the spirals, when you make your eggs
Stir around in motion, still
Drop a penny to the bottom and wish them well
If time moves backwards, reverse ourselves
Through water, it's over again
A song for our daughter and all of her friends
We're not the cause, we're her effect

[Pre-Chorus]
No light, no rush, no words to define
No translation after you type
But I get confused though the sentiment sticks
It's unaccountable, some things can't be martialled into lines
A living, breathing, animated grace
Which offers quiet when my thoughts start to race
And turns back around to hide its face
This countenance sheds a layer, unaware

[Chorus]
The seeing wasn't in the act itself
Misleading, it held you up
Still shaking, an apparition or a curse
It's got you right where it wants
In circles, spinning like a longing thought
Of something you wish would come to being
Manifested as a light worth leaving on all night

[Verse 2]
Been shaving wrong my whole life
You asked if my father didn't raise me right
And smiled like a child with a brand-new bike
Oh, Cassandra, Cassie, Cass
Drop a syllable to help her relax
'Cause loving is what speaking can't

[Pre-Chorus]
No lip could move, a quivering worm
An expression that's hard to discern
But I get uptight when they question our worth
It's uncountable, some things can't be martialled into rows
And weighed, labelled, named as strife
I had a vision where you were my wife
And they all laughed, they were probably right
It was monomania, alright

[Chorus]
The seeing wasn't in the act itself
Misleading, it held you up (It held you up)
Still shaking, an apparition or a curse
It's got you right where it wants
In circles, spinning like a longing thought
Of something you wish would come to being (You wish would come)
Manifested as a light worth leaving on all night (Light worth leaving)

[Outro]
Is it bright out? Is it bright out?
Let the light allow (Let the light allow)
Time, slow down when you're around
Let the light allow (Let the light allow)
Is it bright out? Is it bright out?
Let the light allow (Let the light allow)
Time, slow down when you're around
Let the light allow (Let the light allow)
