A certain Bob Baxter tuned the vocals for this track. He does his own stuff musically, and it's pretty killer. Look him up here: saiastrange.bandcamp.com
lyrics
I can hold my own sometimes,
Most of life is not a heavy-weight fight
But there’s been a day, or two…or three.
Where I just wanted someone to hold me.
And on those days I think of you,
But then I think of all the other “you”s too,
While I wait for just one love to last,
I content myself with a sky-blue past.
Where each cloud is like a kiss of grey,
Every season has its rain,
And when it rains I think of you,
But then I think of all the other “you”s too,
Then I think of all the other “you”s too,
But still I hold my own sometimes,
I put up my fists when I sleep at night,
And when the morning comes I think of God,
And all the things that I am not,
I’m not alone, I’m not alive!
The cup against my lips is the water of life,
I’ll drink it soon, I swear to God,
And then forget the things I’m not.
And then forget the things I’m not.
I will forget the things I’m not.
