about

In many ways this song has a different sound from most of our other songs, but somehow still sounds like tMitG. For this song I decided to get back to the roots of what the band’s sound is and what my guitar style really is about. In the end the guitar sound (namely a lot of effects and distortion) was the element that brought the rest of the song together. –R

lyrics

she's falling through the cracks
stumbling down the stairs
ripped to tiny pieces
fading far away again

running down the street
every thought a riddle
vision blurred and hazy
all her cares a jumble

severed from existence
what seems to be an end
is only the beginning
to salvage one last shred
I seem to not endure
frozen in my mind
everything in chaos
leading us away

smashing into dreams
fighting through the night
breaking down the doors
taking her away again

humanity is torn
actions are confounded
beaten, clawed and damaged
where do we go next?
