The Reeling

Passion Pit · Manners [2009]

We dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home

Now here I cannot feel the wind, can't feel the rain or cold

And I believe in gentle harmony

Well, how I loathe all this obscenity

Is this the way my life has got to be?

Have I a single opportunity?



Look at me, oh, look at me, is this the way I'll always be?

Oh no, oh no

Now I pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me

Oh no, oh no

Everyday I lie awake and pray to God today's the day

Oh no, oh no

Here I am, oh, here I am, oh, when will someone understand?

Oh no, oh no



And all at once I feel this, oh, how it clings to me

It reels and calls me towards it, confounding destiny

And I can feel the madness inch by inch

The more I run the more I am convinced

A color all these like the branches glimpse

Just like the saddle in the foggy mist



Look at me, oh, look at me, is this the way I'll always be?

Oh no, oh no

Now I pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me

Oh no, oh no

Everyday I lie awake and pray to God today's the day

Oh no, oh no

Here I am, oh, here I am, oh, when will someone understand?

Oh no, oh no



Look at me, oh, look at me, is this the way I'll always be?

Oh no, oh no

Now I pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me

Oh no, oh no

Everyday I lie awake and pray to God today's the day

Oh no, oh no

Here I am, oh, here I am, oh, when will someone understand?

Oh no, oh no
