This song was written in a time when Matt was very on edge. He had overworked himself to the point that he’d fall into these kind of mental episodes. He’d go from feeling positive, like he was doing great and all of the sudden he’d shift into these moments of extreme insecurity and that insecurity w...
[Verse 1]
I've been caught in the words, I've been walking for miles
I've been walking in circles
I don't want to escape, I just want to be lost
'Cause you know me like that
And I can never decide if I want to be
Any particular person
There's a solemn breeze and it's whispering things
That I don't want to hear
[Pre-Chorus]
So I disassociate until I'm separate from my body
And I shelter in the words I never said
[Chorus]
Until I'm finally convinced that you hate me
Oh, because I can't be rational
Until I'm finally convinced that I'm crazy
Oh, because I can't be rational
[Verse 2]
I've been caught in the words, I've been walking for miles
I've been walking on purpose
I don't want to explain, I just want to be lost
'Cause you know me like that
And I can never decide if I want to be
Any particular person
There's a solemn breeze and it's whispering things
That I don't want to hear
[Pre-Chorus]
So I disassociate until I'm separate from my body
And I shelter in the words I never said
[Chorus]
Until I'm finally convinced that you hate me
Oh, because I can't be rational
Until I'm finally convinced that I'm crazy
Oh, because I can't be rational
[Bridge]
And all this confusion, is just an illusion
It's borrowing time, becoming a nuisance
It's not like I'm waiting on someone to save me
'Cause everyone's tired, but I'm too impatient
[Chorus]
Until I'm finally convinced that you hate me
Oh, because I can't be rational
Until I'm finally convinced that I'm crazy
Oh, because I can't be rational
