Music and Lyrics written, recorded and produced by Matt Vojtko

Lyrics:
Tug of war I don't know what it's for
Are you capable of so much more?
It keeps us all in line and killing time
While we swear we're not the killing kind
Like a photographic memory for the blind
Like a child of a prodigy
Dementia washing history
The tug of war will wash away what's left

Isn't it the same old story today
No, this ain't the way we used to be
Hand over your heart to seal the truth
But you've gotta live with the future too

Cloudy conscience cuts you down to size
While the master of your desolation thrives
On showing us the darkest of our sides
Like a mirror in the darkness
A mistress for the loneliness
The tug of war will wash away the rest

I'm tired of taking the blame, for you
I'm tired of running away
I'm tired of digging the grave, for you
Divided into the fray

Is all that's left of us
The beaten down, broken ground giving way
The devil you can trust
But you will know before we go
Tomorrow in the undertow

Same old story today
No, this ain't the way we used to be
Hand over your heart to seal the truth
But you've gotta live with the future too
I can barely breath in the state we're in
Oh this tug of war you will never win
Oh you're gonna live with the future too
Now we've gotta live with the future too
Oh we've gotta live with the future too
Oh you're gonna live with the future too
