Tarek started with an angry guitar riff that he loved and shelved it for a few years but then brought it out as the centre piece for this song.
It reminds the band of when they used to mess around in the garage writing songs as an Indie band.

[Verse 1]
Trading thoughts with the mirror
For new points of view
Yeah, it's all in my head
But it's nice to hear a voice or two
Something's stirring my conscious
It's split into two
And it might be a phase
But I swear this shit is clear-view
[Chorus]
I don't trust myself

[Verse 2]
And I'm standing at the edge
I'm just trying to pretend

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, there's thunder in my head
And it rumbles through the dust on my shelf
Yeah, there's thunder in my head
Unfamiliar like I'm somebody else
[Outro]
Yeah, there's thunder in my head
Unfamiliar like I'm somebody else
