And I dread the moment when you finally come to kill me

This is the first thing I remember
Now it's the last thing left on my mind

An empty heart; replaced with paranoia
Where do we go? life's temporary
After we're gone; like New Year's resolutions
Why is this hard? Do you recognize me?
I know I'm wrong but I can't help believing

The beginning of this song has letters that my grandfather wrote to my grandmother in World War II. Joanne Thalley came into the studio and read them. The song itself is about paranoia. Being afraid of the outside world convinced that people can hear your thoughts.
