Oh, Manhattan - The World Ends With You lyrics

For a man of many faces, you look familiar Prophetic voices in my head are telling me to Run like hell Where have you been? I still see you In the face of our children (the face of our children) I heard you made it through the static We hold these blessings by a string But these prayers are meaningless Because we both know, we both know where we're going Stand behind your pride, counting the days til the summer When we are born again Put on your tattered clothes, and proceed to walk That lonely road, of pale white tired lines And I still can't carry the weight of the world Take it off my back, take it off my back The world it ends with you [x2] The world well it ends, the world well it ends with you We are mirror images of false pretenses Surrounded by malice and dissolution Well, Mother lay concrete is proof The marks I've made and the struggles I'll lose What's yours tattooed? C'est la vie, your body shattered Well give me a reason to live Cause there's nothing left to live for We might as well put on our wooden coats and wait For the chariot to take us away to a better place Where we can be at peace, I'll be at peace An exodus is not an option Everyone has a price on their heads The moment for holding on has pa**ed There is no rewind, no second chances And I still can't carry the weight of the world Take it off my back, take it off my back The world it ends with you [x2] The world well it ends, the world well it ends with you
