Aptly matching its title, this song was written at the request of renowned producer Joey Sturgis to test and promote the new vocal processing plug-in in collaboration with Howard Benson. It aims to emulate the style of Saosin, a band chosen as one of Todd’s personal favorites.
[Verse 1]
You're shaking like a nervous wreck
I've watched you fall apart and feign that it's okay
You're tracing out your next escape
But it's too far to fall and you're about to break
(I know you want to let go)
And I'm afraid that I'm too late (Go!)
[Chorus]
(Nothing, forever, it's all that I know)
A feeling only I can understand
(A lie that I tell to myself)
I feel its grip around me again
I'm begging for an answer 'cause I'm done with everything I know
(Know this, forever, you're never alone)
A feeling only I can understand
[Verse 2]
You're better now, or so you think
I've watched you force a smile and feign that you're okay
You tend to disassociate
It's like the world's a fog and you're lost in its haze
(I know you want to let go)
And I'm afraid that I'm too late (Go!)
[Chorus]
(Nothing, forever, it's all that I know)
A feeling only I can understand
(A lie that I tell to myself)
I feel its grip around me again
I'm begging for an answer 'cause I'm done with everything I know
(Know this, forever, you're never alone)
A feeling only I can understand
[Bridge]
I feel like I am only days away from checking myself out
I feel alive when I have one foot in the grave and I'm here now
I feel an aching sense of nothingness and not a whole lot else
I feel alone and I can't breathe
[Chorus]
(Nothing, forever, it's all that I know)
A feeling only I can understand
(Lies that I tell to myself)
I feel its grip around me again
I'm begging for an answer 'cause I'm done with everything I know
(Know this, forever, you're never alone)
A feeling only I can understand
