sixth track on Cloud Gavin's sophomore album, Posture.
lyrics
Congratulations, you’ve fooled everyone in this entire community.
When I say everyone, I hope you know I don’t mean me. You’re a window in the sun, you’re an idea overdone to me, but only me.
You came on by, as I used dishonesty,
but it never seems to satisfy my craving for,
pure love and honesty. When will I ever get this right?
If you’re going to lie, then lie to me honestly,
let me get what I deserve. You’re right on time,
I’m dying dishonestly, we all will get what we deserve;
In the end, we will all reply to things that we never had before.
We’ll cry wolf, we’ll cry wolf, we’ll cry until we’re incompetent,
until we’re all just a bag of bones, malleable and retractible.
You came on by, as I used dishonesty,
but it never seems to satisfy my craving for,
pure love and honesty. When will I ever get this right?
If you’re going to lie, then lie to me honestly,
let me get what I deserve. You’re right on time,
I’m dying dishonestly, we all will get what we deserve.
I’m giving all my time away, going to give it all away.
I tried to sell you on the things that I thought would have you settle for to satisfy me.
Leave it up to me to figure out how to live alone, you’re on your own, again.

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
