about

From episode 74, "Symbiosis."

I needed a song for Mikey to listen to on an mp3 player and decided on this one because I think it is one of my stronger rock tracks and it has a great mood to it. It is about the death of the same friend whose death inspired WOE.BEGONE, so the two projects were really made for each other.

lyrics

Falling up the stairs,
Heaven's heavy-handed,
Today, it's theirs.

Necessity's a chore,
Tools to break the stone,
Dust to settle down ,
Resting on you now.

I would gladly
Give away
My prospective legacy,
Atomized, brutalized, and weak.
I would gladly give away
My untethered urgency,
Cast adrift, waiting to reply,
Until I die.

Sitting in the dark,
Hope is often slaughtered before it starts,
Unremembered dreams,
An unearned fondness for everything.
The math I did would bore
You to sleep, I patiently keep score
Of tired nights and hours that should be yours.

I would gladly give away
My propensity to contemplate
For a second of just solace or a night's sleep.

I would gladly give away
My disproportionate ache
Behind my chest, the first to guess
Gets to open up and see
Me.
