Grizzly Bear are re-issuing the album Shields not to be vainglorious but perhaps (fingers crossed) as preemptive strike to our hearts and souls to a maybe forthcoming release. This one will be an expanded version with bonus tracks and demos from the Shields sessions, also expect a few remixes and such. Street date is November 12th via Warp Records. Check out the track Will Calls and its ok, go ahead a swoon a little bit. Get the lyrics too after the jump. Peace.
LYRICS
Verse 1:
Under your hard lens,
making making too few ends
meet a middle ground I know, it’s defense
Oily hands, slippery slope
Pointed fangs without scope
Understand me
I know
No mistaken time goes
undeserved without, everything, everyone you know
Even if Will calls
Doesn’t mean fall out
We once had a thing I know, banished
All of my rights lingering
It isn’t a place that I’ve been
Chorus:
I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna know the lies
Shouldn’t ever be what it was alright
I’ll choose to believe what’s right
Even if in the end I’m blind
I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna know the lies
Couldn’t ever be what it was, alright?
Verse 2:
Even if we send
Everything from both ends
So little left to, say, do, it depends
If we are past what we keep
All that was promised that was sheathed
No mention of our,
unchecked accord
I leave this, without, regret, or hearsay
Even though I’ll move on
Doesn’t mean this goes strong
Can’t believe it to be, undone, finished
Say what you want me to believe
Please show me something I can see
Repeat Chorus:
I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna know the lies
Wouldn’t ever be what it was alright
I’ll choose to believe what’s right
Even if if in the end I’m blind
I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna know the lies
Shouldn’t ever be what it was, alright
I’ll choose to believe to believe what right
Even if in the end I’m blind
