Cursive - Free To Be Or Not To Be You And Me Lyrics
So I dug deep down
Deep inside myself
To the pitted heart
Of this scabrous shell
Oddly, all I found
On the hunt for some significance
The indifference of the
Chromosome prevailed
So I dug deep back
Through a fractured past
Marriage, work and school
Every dagger twisting branch
Sadly, all my story told
Was an aging man
Just another human organism
Obsessed with -isms
To live is to be in schism
Still, the search goes on
'Cause it must go on
'Cause I won't be assuaged
By the cooing birds of inconsequence
So yes, I'm pissed
I feel cursed with life
I can't just exist
When I need to know I'm right
And I'll never know I'm right
And with this I'll die
Never given any reason for—
What reason do you need to be alive?
Just merely survive
Or don't — you are or you aren't
What I sing right now
Someone's screamed before
Time to take a bow
Before the stage is taken over
It's a flash in the pan
All a flash in the pan
Gotta do what you can
On the head of a pin
Gonna sing into the void
And make some noise, noise
Does anybody out there hear this voice?
Just a flash in the pan
Free to be or not to be you and me
Clearly, I am clamoring to be
I know there is no point to this
I keep on crying out for transcendence

First song is such a bad audio recording what the fuck
SO HOW FLIPPING AMAZING CURSIVE IS A STAPLE OF OUR YOUTH AND PRESENT THANK YOU GUYS FOR CONTINUING TO MOVE US
I came here for Tim K ❤❤❤
has a burst and bloom vibe so far!
I'm undecided on the new album. Right now I like 5/10 of the songs, but I remember feeling the same about 'I am gemini' and it's now, by far, my favorite album. There is this cool vibe throughout the album of getting back to some kind of roots like domestica (maybe?), but also evolving past the other albums and into it's own which is nice. Maybe this one will grow on me as well. None the less, good work and thanks for another album. Still my favorite band.
@BryanBoruPlays I agree, it's an amazing album. There are still 3 songs I'm not really into (it's gonna hurt, oroborous and Noble soldier), for no reason other than I just didn't dig the musical feel of them, but every other song is amazing and it's my favorite album of 2018. It's good to have something from these guys again and I hope to catch them on kexp, audiotree or npr tiny desk in the coming months. Trying to get tickets to their Halloween show too. Should be an awesome night.
@Palido Fantasmo two of those are my favorite hahahaha
@Agent Jack Stone that's cool, man. We all have our tastes and it seems they made something for everyone so if nothing else we can bond over our mutual liking of this band, lol.
@Palido Fantasmo of course :)
I hate everything the first few times around. And then I love it and feel ashamed. Cursive never disappoints me.
