This song was the lead single from Number[s], Woe Is Me’s breakout Debut album. The music video shows a scientist working on something unseen and repeatedly drinking from a flask. The flask brings together many of the lyrics and presents the song as being about an alcoholic. The pictures referred to...
[Intro: Michael Bohn]
Visitor, come to my room
And see all the trash I've made
[Verse 1: Michael Bohn]
Stay a while, I'm on the verge of laying it down
A vagabond and all his trash in search to find his crown
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Your mind is like a candle stick
And my ambitions are constantly burning out
[Chorus: Tyler Carter, Michael Bohn]
I'd hate to rain on your parade
But everything you know is taken by this flood
You were blind, but there's no hope
And dig a hole, but there's no blood
[Post-Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Who am I to pretend?
And who am I to recommend there is something less
Than timelines and whores that drag you back to the floor
And cut your eyes out?
[Breakdown: Michael Bohn]
Find me, oh saint, I'm bending
Breaking at my knees praying
I'm exposed, this earth has taken pride
In seeing my most vulnerable state
[Bridge: Tyler Carter]
Well, I find no humor
In letting yourself stray away
From those pictures
When they cause you to see shame in yourself
Well, you can run from your problems
But they'll follow you like a trend
One shot to forgetting
Six shots to falling in the end
[Verse 2: Michael Bohn]
I was the king of kings, I stand for one rule and one rule for myself
As a man I will fall, and my son, you've watched it all
[Outro: Tyler Carter]
Behind every mask lies a man
Who can't live in his own skin
He lives by the flask, he bathes in his past
And he dies by his own sins
