You & I (Samson's Lament)

(album: Clear The Heir - 2018)

Time marches on, but I stand still
Could someone please explain this to me so I can stop asking myself?
How do these thoughts make their home in my head
You're not invited here, you're not wanted here, please leeeeeee...
Oh wait wait, forgive me, I invited you here
Now take a seat, I've got something to tell you

Sweetheart, remember me?
I'm more than just a memory
You've drained all my energy
And I don't know how to let it be
Same old song, I guess it's just a new genre
They don't know that I created all this drama
'Lord, save my soul' but I know I don't believe it
I should say no more, I found a lady for the evening
And she's got many faces and she's got many names
Just like the Mona Lisa, cause they all look the same
You're my imagination, allow me to explain
Welcome to my addiction
Sweetheart, this isn't me
I need a dose of reality
Don't know what's gotten into me
Feel like I'm running from the enemy

You and I, it's a suicide
This is do or die, if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
But I don't know if I can do without it
You and I, it's a suicide
It's a do or die, if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
I'ma have to do without it

Too often I am caught in my own head
Wondering if tonight I'll share my bed
Cool and calm on the outside, but shook to the core
Being devoured by lions, you can tell by the roar
But this can't be life, this can't be love
I desired the pigeon and set free the dove
Things move too fast when egos get hurt
And bad seeds are planted when we dig in the dirt
So, I toss the shackles to the side, but they find their way back
Not this time satan, I can't go for that
I'd be lying if I said the devil made me do it
But that path is the one that leads to ruin
My actions, my words they gon' paint a new picture
Take her off the wall... She's out my life and I don't miss her
It's clear my time is now, the battle will be won
Turn my back to the darkness it's time to face the Son

You and I, it's a suicide
This is do or die, if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
But I don't know if I can do without it
You and I, it's a suicide
It's a do or die, if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
I'ma have to do without it

Sweetheart, remember me?
I'm on the road to recovery
The Lord has forgiven me
Your slave ain't what I wanna be
I sang along, but now it's time to go solo
Play no more, I left the game like Tony Romo
All I know is that you're going to leave my head soon
All Amour, I want the love before the bedroom

Honey, can you look at your Daddy please?
First of all, I love you little bunny, you know that right?
Yes Daddy
Good, You see angel, everyday I work hard to be the type of man that you can look up to and be proud of
Because one day, you're going to meet the man that you want to marry
And he ain't gon' be perfect, just like me!
But as long as he loves you unconditionally and puts the Lord first, you've found yourself a great man
