LYRICS
I’m so, lost in desire
Can’t dig myself out
- something’s out there pulling at me
-like a ghost most definitely, yeah
like having sex while on fire
There’s no putting you out
- always out there biting that leash
- but you do it so delicately, yeah
Hey now, I’ll never say I’m sorry
I was never that coy
- Pull the pin, your cracking my head
- either way, I’m better off dead, yeah
Your rope is gripping me much tighter
I will figure you out
- waiting for these cuts to sting
- knowing how my heart will bleed, yeah
Some day I think I might scare you
I’ll be sneaking around
- I’m a thief who would think it was fun
- when u sleep, your alarm’s undone, yeah
One day, you’ll know that I’m prowling
Am I creeping you out
- an enemy having bad intentions
- like Halloween as an intervention
That girl will be your end
And she’ll bury you underground
She’ll kill you now and then
Cause your heart has been spellbound
And if you try to run
If it goes it comes around
It’s not hard to die from love
When your heart has been spellbound

And I love Matt Skiba and Mark and Travis and love all the music they've made.

[@paulkelly8533]

So so true!

[@dons1932]

And that is actually a very unique skill. To write those songs. There's a Fall Out Boy lyric "the songs you grow to like, never stick at first." Ironically, songs you are indifferent to in the beginning, are the ones you get into and have MASSIVE staying power. For years. Almost every listen you hear something new. Yet the songs you instantly like, are often, the forgettable ones that don't have any lasting power and fade quickly.

[@forevermarked5826]

That's a form of brainwashing. Repetition is the easiest way to brainwash and music is the easiest form of brainwashing. It's why the occult is huge in the music industry. And also think about all the songs you have disliked but because the radio played it all the time, you found yourself singing it.... just thought you might find this interesting. It is true

[@christinetenbroeck3977]

Same! I've had this on a loop all day but my first listen I didn't know what to expect

Been a hardcore fan of this band since day 1. Favorite band of all time and I can honestly say, I think this album is the most diverse piece of art they have produced. Every song is so different. They are pushing the boundaries of what they can be artistically while keeping the same structure and message I fell in love with. This album is going to be fantastic. Unlike most hardcore fans I love seeing Tom take steps outside of what he's comfortable with. It's going to make for some amazing music. There's only been one song out of this album I haven't cared for too much. The rest have been a beautiful journey.

[@thegreyman4920]
