Just like the At the Drive-In song Embroglio, this song is also about the suicide of Julio Venegas and the condemnation of the person who pushed him to the edge.

Concertina Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In denial
Who will come clean all the ravenous debris?
In disguise
Sideswiped by penance cerecloth sentencing
This scapegrace will pay my barking harangue
Are you listening?
On the 14th you stole what hasn't grown old
In denial
File this under a bridge that he can't leave
[Chorus 1]
Will those shadows glare, from that blank-rimmed stare
In a vacancy hush
[Verse 2]
Aunque me dejastes ahogando en el mar
Acuestate en la tierra de la realidad de tu sueño
Manos me recuerdo solamente a ti te odio
Yo ya me voy
In denial
Who will clean up all this ravenous debris?
In denial
File this under a bridge that he can't leave
[Chorus 2]
And the storyville sawbones couldn't tell
The prescription to mend
All the broken wills in the white lie wards
Don't you pretend
[Post-Chorus]
Tangled in thorns, to walk unborn
[Refrain]
And this debt will collect
All the sickness that infects
[Bridge]
Suddenly drives up, sentencin' valley
Count all the handshakes, syringe overflows
No
[Post-Chorus]
Tangled in thorns, to walk unborn
[Refrain]
And this debt will collect
All the sickness that you infect
And this debt will collect
All the sickness you infect
And this debt

Cedric Bixler-Zavala:
It was the first time I was really trying to sing. [Producer] Alex Newport would listen to me do a take, and just say, ‘No, do it again.’ There was no fudging it, like in punk-rock. I just had to try again and again, harder and harder, until I nailed it. But I remember hearing...
