about

This was the last track written, as well as the wildest. It's Ridge's favorite. The sound is a mix of hardcore and nu metal.
Lyrically, it's about the countless former members and tryouts we've come across as a band that were either complete psychopaths, or dragged us behind, holding us back from everything we'd worked for.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
They're always watching
Waiting for us to fall
But we'll keep breathing
Fighting for what we've done
Fighting for what we've done

This won't defeat us
This won't defeat us
The dead weight consumes us all

[Chorus]
I've never seen such tragedy
There's nothing left of you
Nothing's what it seems
There's no getting to you
Your reflection is shattered

The dead weight consumes us all

[Verse 2]
They're always watching
Waiting for us to fall
But we'll keep on breathing
Fighting for what we've done

[Interlude]
They're always watching
Waiting for us to fall
But we'll keep on breathing

[Post-Interlude]
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where have you always been?

What of us?
What of us?
What are we supposed to be?
What are we supposed to be?
Tell me
What are we supposed to be?
Supposed to be.
Supposed to be.
Supposed to be.

[Chorus]
I've never seen such tragedy
There's nothing left of you
Nothing's what it seems
There's no getting to you
Your reflection is shattered

[Ending]
This won't defeat us
Dead weight consumes us all
Wanting forgiveness
We hear them beg as they crawl
We hear them beg as they crawl
We hear them beg as they crawl
