lyrics

Her...
Do you remember the smell of the rain?
Do you recall the curve of my veins?
Do you remember?

Him...
I took my time with it, I've thought it through and through.
I'm but a child of wolves and so are you.

Her...
But do you remember
How you arrived?

I bit the rose from it and you just winked at me,
A bitter blessing from the 'Fates that be.'
I've kept my guard down that you would comfort me,
A certain sign that you might one day be mine.

Him...
I bit my cheek of it, you just envelope me,
A drop of blood until the water's clean,
I've cut my fingers leaving you letters.
I swam across, do you remember me?

Her & Him...
Do you remember?

Her...
Oh, invoke my name and
What good am I?
Him...
If you would invoke my name then
Of what curse am I?

Her...
If you embrace my praises,
I might never try
To reach your soft sunrise.
Him...
You'll never learn,
No one survives.
There is no sun without her soft surprise.

Her...
I don't remember your pallor nor embrace,
I can't recall the smell of the rain.

I fed the flower, allegedly to few.
Am I the Swan, the Sparrow, or are you?

I took my time with it, I've thought it through and through.
I'm just a child of birds and so are you.

Do you remember the swerve and the crave?
You still recall the curve of my veins.

The Manichean Houston, Texas

We are here to change you, to sway you and stain you with breathlessness and reverence. Our live performances are an affair of sweat and lust and limbs akimbo. The story we're telling is one of death and resurrection, love and insanity. We are a collective of revenants. We are The Manichean. ... more

The Manichean recommends:

Hold the Sun
by Tax the Wolf

One of our favorite bands in Houston, both as people and artists, making progressive rock their own. If you didn't already know, you should now. The Manichean
go to album
Golden
by The Tontons

These fine people are creating a sound that no one we've yet to hear is capable of. The music is both instantly catchy and arresting in its originality, and Asli Omar's voice will melt you completely. The Manichean
go to album
Harbinger (EP)
by The Clouds are Ghosts

One of our favorite bands, from Texas or otherwise, to date. Both of their albums are impressive beyond words, 'Harbinger' being one of the most gorgeous EPs any of us have ever heard. The Manichean
