Manchester Orchestra - The Silence
(Alternative/Rock, dark, atmospheric, building to a rock crescendo)

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
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 Home stake 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.
