about
Much like Get Stabbed this was written during a period of time where I was incredibly worried that I was going to die young. Actually I'm still worried about that, but when I wrote this song the feeling was a lot more prevalent. I think a lot about how bodies fail, and how we're trapped in them. I wonder a lot about what parts of me will stop working first, and how much time I have left to enjoy them.
lyrics
It's 5AM lonely, pull up a chair
Ironically enough we've all been there
I write in first person more than my fair share
And now even I relate to the "I don't care"s
I feel you. I know what it's like
I've been alone on a stage with a backbeat and mic
Neither of these things I helped to create
Genesis was words to help satiate
A craving, desire, now gone and replaced
I've said this all before; repeat - erase
I've said this all before; repeat - erase
I've said this all before; repeat
---
I'm going to die, there I said it
I'm going to die, I don't regret it
We all have to die, but to live? That's your call
Referencing death is breaking the fourth wall (x2)
---
I'm driving a time bomb.
You are too.
I think about it from time to time and it gets to me,
Does it get to you?
They call it a body, well that's good and fine
You only get one and I'm trashing mine
I woke up today and I'm feeling okay
But I hear my heart ticking and I'm so afraid
Of the day that it fails, which part will go first?
Will it be something aesthetic, or should I fear for the worst?
They call hypochondria, but on this planet I see
That death is a disease that runs in each family tree
And when I'm driving my car the engine light comes on
And I know it's probably nothing, but I never drive long
So I've developed a habit, it flickers in my head
And if they save me the bills will make me wish I was dead
So I get up on stage and confess every line
To people who stare and think "Don't worry, it's gonna be fine"
And when I reference death I can't help but asking
"Am I breaking some fourth wall? I swear I heard laughing..."

I've said this all before; repeat - erase
I've said this all before; repeat - erase
