The opening title track repeats the phrase ‘I’m not dead yet’, hammering home this new lease on life to the listener from the outset. Single ‘Sunshine’ meanwhile welcomes a bright light into the room, a metaphor and theme that Caleb felt summed up a lot of his own struggles.
“That song is obviously...
[Intro]
Ah, I'm like actually losing my voice though
[Verse 1]
Killing my time in the dark inside
It's a race to death for me
Try and unwind while I lose my mind
I got no place to be
[Pre-Chorus]
The cold winds blowing
The lights not showing
Excuses piling up
I can't keep running
The end is coming
I think I need some
I think I need some
[Chorus]
Sunshine that would finally show
I might die if I stay in this cold
And I finally admit it, I gotta be committed
To let this story unfold
I hear angels calling my name and
I better listen before I implode
I don't care for a minute
If no one's gonna get it
Let's try selling our souls
Let's try selling our souls
Let's try selling our souls
[Verse 2]
Living in filth, can't look at myself
'Cause I know what I'm gonna see
The spirit I lost, the years it cost
The reasons I'm scared to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
The room is spinning
The clock keeps ticking
I've finally had enough
I can't keep running
The end is coming
I think I need some
I think I need some
[Chorus]
Sunshine that would finally show
I might die if I stay in this cold
And I finally admit it, I gotta be committed
To let this story unfold
I hear angels calling my name and
I better listen before I implode
I don't care for a minute
If no one's gonna get it
Let's try selling our souls
[Bridge]
The end is coming
The end is coming
The end is coming
I can't keep running
The end is coming
The end is coming
I think I need some
I think I need some
[Chorus]
Sunshine that would finally show
I might die if I stay in this cold
And I finally admit it, I gotta be committed
To let this story unfold
I hear angels calling my name and
I better listen before I implode
I don't care for a minute
If no one's gonna get it
Let's try selling our souls

This is about me realising that my seasonal depression is getting out of hand and I really need to make a change. I ended up moving to Los Angeles about seven or eight months after I wrote that song, and never looked back.
