first track on Cloud Gavin's sophomore album, Posture.
lyrics
There’s a pilot overseas
and he crashing, crashing, crashing
But he’s seen it all before, all before.
But, you can’t blame yourself for every
little fucking thing that has gone wrong before,
wrong before and he says
“boy, get up, or you’re never going home again!"
“Do you have the will to follow through?”
The boy replies “I have my legs, but I’ve no heart.”
"So, is it worth it if I’m not allocated?”
You’ll believe it all,
until you give in.
Ignoble towns, petty keeps and empty caves
They’re not a refuge, they’re not a harbor, nor a home.
If there is structure, if there is promise, if there is light
Then I can’t stay, I won’t stay here for all my life.
You’ll believe it all,
until you give in.
What’s a body without it’s heart? (it’s a burning bridge, it’s a fallen tree)
What’s a bird without it’s wings? (it’s a ship that is prone to sinking)
What’s a fish without it’s gills? (it’s a day too late, it’s a bad mistake)
What’s a crown without a king? (it’s a ship that is prone to sinking)
Yes, brother, I still have all of my faith.
It’s all the things I don’t do that keeps me away.

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
In context of how there is a named syndrome about how difficult second albums are, could this be the only second album where all tracks are better than any on the first full-length? davekillcountysmith
