Through a track-by-track commentary of the album on twitter, the band commented:
“A Passing Rain. The latest addition to the record, I wrote it in Oct 2021. I wasn’t doing great, and I was feeling an intense love and gratitude for the people close to me who seemed to stick around through every low...
[Verse 1]
You're a good actor, must be a drag to know me when I'm down
Get such a workout, talking in circles here then back around
You tell me sweetly you wouldn't have me any other way
You're not a liar, but I can't believe you when I'm in this state
[Chorus]
I cave like I was built to break
Like I was built to break
[Verse 2]
Shifting perspective, gets pretty hectic when you're weak of will
Holding my breath and counting to ten, like dread's numerical
When in my right mind, I seem to know I'm not a pain to you
But somehow, knowing that doesn't conflict with knowing it's not truе
[Chorus]
I cave like I was built to break
You stay likе it's a passing rain
[Verse 3]
How can you hold me when I'm dissolving?
How can you hold me when I'm dissolving?
[Chorus]
I cave like I was built to break
Like I was built to break
I cave like I was built to break
You stay like it's a passing rain
I cave like I was built to break
You stay as if it's not in vain
