It has often been speculated, although not proven, that this song is about the departure of former bassist Joe Loeffler from the band.
[Intro]
Sick
[Verse 1]
Walk down the realm
Hint to no one that this
Generic bond exists
Evil shows another side
[Pre-Chorus]
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before, hooked on substance
Digging deeper, can't reveal
[Chorus]
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
So!
[Verse 2]
So fed up, what's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead
This pity wagon penetrates my skin
So sensitive, makes me sick
[Pre-Chorus]
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before, hooked on substance
Digging deeper, can't reveal
[Chorus]
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
Oh
[Verse 3]
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
The old and the aged pulled, never knew what hit
The old and the aged rolled, never knew what hit
[Pre-Chorus]
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before, hooked on substance
Digging deeper, can't reveal
[Chorus x2]
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
[Outro]
We leave, we leave
