Year In Year Out — Entombed

Is that a strain Or a delicate smile Built to proportion? It might as well have been you And all the things you do Somedays I'm waiting For my pulse to calm down Into the low hundreds I shake the shirt loose off my back

Day and night, year in year out

Will you ever understand That I'm only an object Day and night year in year out I'm just trying to be the subject

Where others see the abstract I only see the truth And that has always been To repeat my youth
