Lyrics The Manifest - The Velvet Teen

The Manifest

Love can be a royal menace
Been reminiscing
You were pretty, penniless
With looks to kill a king
You were blind, begging for change
Well, just you wait and see
Now we’re making empty threats
Yeah, pawn their vacancy
We’d been ruling for years
Really, what a waste
We’ve been burning' love letters
All that we wrote, erased
We would turn in the manifest
Now that we both could read
We’ve been learning the terms we committed to
Were meant for memory
Like the sky, you were over me
I know, we needed space
I’d go to mars and make a record
Curiosity
I’ll find another
Life is ordered now
For the exploring
If you can take my chaos, baby
I’ll make your terrain
We’ve been ruling for years
I’m never far away
We’ve been touring and tearing the veil
Well since the millennium
Baby girl, someday, someday
'cos i’m never far away
We’ll be burnin' the sheets
We’ll save on laundry
Back in 1980, maybe
Nah, i was never innocent
I’ve been burnin' papers since 1997
We’ve been drinkin' free today
Drunk on liberty
I’ve been learning, been earning my confidence
And my confidantes
