liner notes Wuff, this was a tough one! I ended up writing this song about going through a mental health crisis and fearing that the people around you are using your vulnerable state to take advantage of you while pretending to help. My ties to the video ended up mainly being lyrical themes that matched with what's shown onscreen, but I also like to think I've captured at least some of the dark atmospheric feel of the video in my song.

I'm drifting
into the corner again
not much to do on the floor but sit here
and wait for this to end
and the pictures
flipping through my head
a skull that cracks through plaster
what are the last words that I said?

I fear the friendly faces
who appear when I'm in pain
do they mask their vile intentions
like a devil in the rain

my secondary exit's down
a stairway thick with sickened air
a stairway thick with sickened air
my secondary exit's there

I fear the friendly faces
who appear when I'm in pain
do they mask their vile intentions
like a devil in the rain

My body and my thoughts are seconds off,
I think I'm rotting,
being mocked by microscopic cracks in clocks,
just make it stop
(just make it stop)
My body and my thoughts are seconds off
I think I'm rotting
and my heartbeat mocks the clatter of the clock
just make it stop
(just make it stop)

I fear the friendly faces
who appear when I'm in pain
do they mask their vile intentions
like a devil in the rain
