The instrumental part was written first. I was curious one day to see if I could play it on the guitar. I eventually wrote the lyrics and decided to have the songs back to back.

lyrics

I thought abandon was both mind and body
but with so many digital sedatives
my every desire's monetary.
How do I survive in a world that's trying to cripple me?

Small things bring pleasure but never last,
an embrace, a caress, a natural sound.

Wolf down the fear that I read about,
I don't know who's coming, but somebody's coming.
I believe what I'm told because I'm trusting.
There's union in fear with people who are similar.

Small things bring pleasure but never last,
an embrace, a caress, a natural sound.

A belief in failure,
mass echolalia; neophobia.
A stagnant hallelujah.

But can we change where we are?
We're the result of an eon.
There's good in the eyes I look in,
so then why should I fear them?

I've made a decision
to act without division.
One grey morning,
I left with no need return.
