Lyrics

I Know Why

And I know why Your bird won't sing And I know why Your bell won't ring And I know why you make a point of striking up a conversation When you're so terrified of any confrontation I know why You can't sit still And I know why You're so hate filled And I know what it's gonna take to break you down til you confess I'd like to pick apart your brain and keep the parts that I like best And I know why Oh woah oh I know why Oh woah oh I know why Oh woah oh Yes I know why And I don't mind Your crocodile smile I don't mind If you wanna hang out for a while I don't mind you rock'n'rolling with your fuckin' junkie friends I'd like to take you off to the side and put it to a fuckin' end And I don't mind If you wanna take a nap And I don't mind If your fucking lungs collapse And I don't mind you writing letters to a lover you once had You can tell me that I'm leaving cuz I'm sick of feeling sad And I don't mind Oh woah oh I don't mind Oh woah oh I don't mind Oh woah oh No I don't mind

Joyce Manor: "A break did us a lot of good"

Joyce Manor worried a break might make people forget them. Instead, it reset the band and set up a run of bigger tours, bigger co-signs and their tightest songs yet.
