lyrics

Chasing away all of the thoughts of yesterday
This is not my choice but here i’ll have to stay
Where a light is found;
Upon solid ground;
Destiny has played the victim perfectly
In the wrong place
Stuck with all the right plays
I’m in debt with fate and I’ve tempted over and over again
Every move that we make
Comes round and circles
In this circus

...And I swear I can’t remember the last time
You dug a hole this deep
You crawl inside of me
And take my sanity

Wishing away
All the best of my days
But for my future’s sake
I need to medicate
When there’s no remedy
And nothing can replace
Look to the other side for that saving grace
If my strings should happen to separate
Don’t turn your back to the stage
Just shine the spotlight on my face
And find me the strength to hold on
To every faded dream that I ever let go of

....And I swear I can’t remember the last time
You dug a hole this deep
You crawl inside of me
And take my sanity
....And I swear the custom fit to your pastime is
The art of deceit
With every breath I take
I lose the will to break

And all the shiftless replay their sordid misery
As all the cycles converge I’m ready for
The chance to be the first one standing up to defeat
and one day they’ll see the superhero in me

...And I swear I can’t remember the last time
You dug a hole this deep
You crawl inside of me
And take my sanity
...And I swear that this time is the last time
You get the best of me
So come anxiety
Take your best shot at me

You and I
by OBROTHER

A darker and more expansive album for an already dark and expansive band. You & I is the aural equivalent of moving through the depths of an empty forest at midnight thrownofan
