"Manifesto" lyrics

I've been hiding with a bloodshot eye
Saving up a pile of compromise
For this lifetime full of fear
A horrible tale, my dear
And it's a repetition every day
A million words I just can't say
So what's a confidant to do?
(Singing, dream together, we can dream together
We can fantasize about the fairer weather)

Now I've been dreaming of a bygone day
And filing all the dreams so far away
In this oh so heavy head
Shoulders that slump in dread
And I've been wanting for a flash of light
A miracle to make it all alright
So what's a confidant to do?

Oh, keep it together, I can't keep it together
Why'd we have to go and proclaim forever?
Oh, keep it together, I can't keep it together
I don't even know how to mean "forever"

Keep it together, keep it together
Baby do you know what you wanna hear?

I thought maybe it would come to this
Shot my arrow and it never hit
I've got nothing but a target missed
(It only takes an instant to leave your sight)
But I am more than just a mark unseen
A ten ton presence at the apogee
Manifesto of a grand decree
(And all I wanna do is to do you right)

I've been wanting for a shot that's sharp
To hit the target on my heart
Some hypostatic bolt of blue
But you loosed the arrow far too straight and true
Now I've got a hole so wide
For fantasy to crawl inside and die
What's a confidant to do?

Oh, keep it together, I can't keep it together
Why'd we have to go and proclaim forever?
Oh, keep it together, I can't keep it together
I don't even know how to mean "forever"

Keep it together, keep it together
Baby do you know what you wanna hear?

I thought maybe it would come to this
Shot my arrow and it never hit
Found rock bottom of the bottomless
(It only takes an instant to leave your sight)
But what's the point in planning anyway?
A thousand colors in a shade of grey
Manifesto for a rainy day
(And all I wanna do is to do you right)
