about

The 'magnum opus' of the album. Clocking in at almost eight minutes, it's probably the longest song I've ever written. I really like the lyrics and the structure, but the recording is maybe my least favorite on the album. It's too out-of-tune-shouty and really needs to be layered up some to get across the power that I was going for (also I audibly cough like five minutes in...). It's a more reactionary song about death than Lost Control, which I felt was fitting to close the album with.

lyrics

I went walking past your house
The ground's been newly paved
Been seeing him around
He says that you've been saved

But I was there the day
We turned and walked away
And said "don't worry, babe"
I said I'll keep the faith

A thousand times before
I don't see the point in it anymore
When you can't come around
You were meant for so much more than in the ground
I can't see you
And I don't want to be the only one that you talk to
But I guess I'll do
'Cause I'm the only one that could never cry for you
For you

Leave your window open
Just a tad so I can
Sneak inside tonight
And sleep inside your bed
Yeah

Unlock the door
And run away
Don't believe
What all the grievers say
Thoughts you spent your pennies on
Weren't worth their weight in gold
There's no yellow line dividing this road

Leave your window open
Just a tad so I can
Sneak inside tonight
And sleep inside your bed

What's the point of living?
What's the point of waking up?
Everyone's going to leave me sometime

Leave your casket open
Just a tad so I can
Crawl inside tonight
And sleep with you instead
