about

The last song written and recorded, only a month prior to release.

lyrics

it was the strangest thing
I lost myself today
there was a haze around
I wasn't summer dazed
but it was like I had
no control
it was getting colder

and she woke amazed
hearing the shit I had to say
it was almost like I knew her
but when I looked
the clock had stopped
and I felt my heart drop
and the world turned around

I think I smell a rat
he's living on hard tack
round and round we go
but do we really know who we are
inside or out
identity did you forsake me

throwing ragers on tuesdays
buying human remains
these and more fall under my name
it's strange
like rain on your wedding day
it's not real but I can't escape

someone took my very name
and then they ran away
you're a coward
they say
like the fox and the hare
games of cat and mouse

I think I found the rat
he's living by the skin on his back
round and round they go
but do we really know who they are
inside or out
identity why did you forsake me

and when I lost my world
skyscrapers tumblin down
I didn't see it was a
facsimile

and so I gave it up
went on with my life
didn't think twice
but you're only told to bite

the hand that feeds has a mean
backswing
as I watched myself recoil
oh I felt it sting

6 feet underground
in a cardboard box
how could it end like this
I heard her scream
