about

This album is a concept based around a family, a mother, father, brother and daughter.
This first song is through the eyes of the father, who, by the en of the song, kills the mother and runs away, leaving his two children behind.

lyrics

This isn't the worst I've done, you tell me I'm lost but I keep coming home.
Can't you see the urgency? This madman inside won't hide and I confide in myself to stay alive. But it's not that easy. These insecurities overtake my need of existence to a tee. And why don't I care that this blood on your hands is all because of me?
Well, I can't take this back and I wouldn't if I could. I'm not sorry.
This is what I have become. The mold you made was only temporary.

Next time you wake up, you will find that this madman inside could never hide. (x2)
I hope you sleep well my love. You won't wake up. (x2)

(To children)
Listen, this wasn't the worst I've done. She told me I was lost but I kep coming home, didn't I?
I'm sorry for the urgency, I guess I'll just leave an try again with someone who understands me.
