Mgmt - Metanoia lyrics

rate me

Metanoia, reshaping the world

It can teach you

And reprogram you

It can show you the flood

That's trapped inside

This one's alive

The tail is breathing

And she's listening

Kill the serpent

Divide, disperse and grow

Into an oak

A silver lining on a black scale

Wicked hunter on three hooves he still rode

But where is the fourth?

You can climb there

To your lofty perch

It can teach you the fairytale of hurt

Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn

I'm a child, I'm a lover being born

Satchidananda

Disregard the path I'm on

You can justify the action, should you bless

My ambition and my indecisiveness

Satchidananda

Let me know that you exist

Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone

I am separate from everything you know

Mystic referee I promise to return

Once I've given up and lessons have been learned

Satchidananda

You can watch my fire burn

We were talkin' junk right,

Just before the show

This wild-eyed kid came up to the fence

He took one look at us, and he said:

"Help me,

Drummer,

Ticket,

Yeah!"

We didn't play his favorite song,

Now he'll never come to another show

Hospitals and woods confirm

Red in the eyes of everyone

Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones

Turned into jade and tiger's eye

Save me some dark hair over a face like hers

She'll help the rain come to a pour

Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two

Warm where they touch her porcelain

Timid skin I'm careful to untie this road

Wrapped in a knot indifferent

Lion's foot unearthing all the things I've seen

But never truly understood

Rotten wood from oceans that were never green

Crumbles beneath the canopy

Secretly

Let's pretend we never touched the sugar

Tonight, under rose

You won't find another wheel to roll

When autumn winds appear

We wear these fears on our right

It just wants to be surreal 'cause

All dressed in diamond image jeans

Mercury's found in old field

We miserable in love

And chance we walked

Right on in, into the streets of the city but

Watching people disappear

Without reaching out

Years and years

You're left by yourself

On the wheel
