J. Robbins on this song: ““Mirrorful” is pretty much all mine; “Livid” is a lot of Zach’s lyrics; “Iodine” is pretty much all mine. “His Only Trade,” Bill and I traded off, like he wrote what he sang, and I wrote what I sang. That was pretty fun. That was a method that we didn’t use till this record...
Someday he's gonna wake up in a burning house
And wonder what to save and wonder who to blame
Someday he's gonna wake up in a burning house
And wonder what got burned and what looks the same
Someday he's gonna take stock of sleepwalking days
Silver prints and sutured pages
Someday he's gonna take stock of the time he lost
When he tied the knots and he pulled the string
Sixes He only heard you
Sevens When you were lying
You wanna make that bastard sing His only trade
You wanna make that bastard sing His only trade
You wanna make that bastard sing
Someday he's gonna wake up in a burning house
And wonder what to save and wonder who to blame
Su-Su-Someday he's gonna wake up in a burning house
And wonder what got burned and what looks the same
Someday he's gonna take stock of sleepwalking days
Silver prints and sutured pages
Someday he's gonna take stock of the time he lost
When he tied the knots and he bled
Sixes He only heard you
Sevens When you were lying
You wanna make that bastard sing His only trade
You wanna make that bastard sing His only trade
You wanna make that bastard sing
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
Wish he'd never turned the lights out
