about

Cameron: This is yet another song that deals with my manic depression, but in the regards to how it effects my relationships with other people. I don't think people quite understand how my lyrics actually pertain to my life and I cannot stress the lack of hyperbole in them. This song was lyrically hell for me to write and even down to the "I'm growing out my hair so eventually I can cut ties with myself," line, which is not just an idea or a concept, I actually haven't gotten a hair cut in upwards of six months and I genuinely feel that I will cut it when I am ready to let go of everything that's happened in that time. This song title is a location where all of these feelings came to light and how I moved past them.

lyrics

Cam: Did you think about all the things you said to me? Do you think that they helped quell the Hell in my head? In my heart I was torn apart. In my dreams I’ve been thinking of a way to disappear. Well my greatest fear was that I would disappoint all the ones I love, but I’ve been there and back. It’s not so hard when you can’t face yourself in the mirror. Did you think about all the things you said to me? Do you think that they helped quell the Hell in my head? In my heart I was torn apart. In my dreams I’ve been thinking of a way to disappear, so I’m growing out my hair.

Raph: So I’m growing out my hair.

Cam: So eventually I can cut ties with myself. I’m growing out my hair.

Raph: I’m growing out my hair.

Cam: So eventually I can cut ties with all that I’ve felt. And so I ask myself each night, will I wake to see the morning light? And as I fall asleep, I close my eyes and pray for a reason to breathe. I will keep breathing, but I won’t feel alive.

Cam, Charlie, Raph, Nick, Jon: I will keep breathing, but I won’t feel alive.

Cam: I will keep breathing, but I won’t feel alive.
