My Manic And I Lyrics - Alas I Cannot Swim - Laura Marling

He wants to die in a lake in Geneva 

The mountains can cover the shape of his nose 

He wants to die where nobody can see him 

But the beauty of his death will carry on so 

I don? t believe him 

He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him 

And sometimes we? re scorned and sometimes I believe him 

And sometimes I? m convinced, my friends think I? m crazy 

Get scared and call him but he? s usually hazy 

At one in the morning, day is not ended 

By two he is scared that sleep is no friend 

And by four he will drink but he cannot feel it 

Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it 

And I don? t believe him, morning is mocking me

I? ll wander the streets, avoiding them eats 

? Til the ring on my finger slips to the ground 

A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city 

The veins of which have broken me down 

And I don? t believe him, morning is mocking me 

Oh, the Gods that he believes never fail to amaze me 

He believes in the love of his God of all things 

But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins 

The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him 

I can? t control you, I don? t know you well 

These are the reasons I think that you? re ill 

I can? t control you, I don? t know you well 

These are the reasons I think that you? re ill 

And since last that we parted 

Last that I saw him down by a river 

Silent and hardened 

Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky 

I was just happy, my manic and I 

Photos 

He couldn? t see me, the sun was in his eyes 

And birds were singing to calm us down 

And birds were singing to calm us down 

And I? m sorry young man, I cannot be your friend 

I don? t believe in a fairytale end 

I don? t keep my head up all of the time 

I find it dull when my heart meets my mind 

And I hardly know you, I think I can tell 

These are the reasons I think that we're ill 

I hardly know you, I think I can tell 

These are the reasons I think that I'm ill 

And the Gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me 

The Gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me 

My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I 

Have no plans to move on 

But birds are singing to calm us down 

And birds are singing to calm us down
