Yeah, I've always liked this song a lot. Now I'm getting a little older I realise how much it says about me that I enjoyed, and felt peace with songs and lyrics like this.

Mother... what did you do to me?

Been struggling in all relationships all my life, but it really comes out with the woman I've been seeing throughout this scamdemic.
Sometimes when I upset her, and when she reacts appropriately, and puts distance between us, I just lose it, it's like a demon starts coming out of me. Screaming, yelling at the top of.of my lungs, growling, crawling around. So much anger...
Heal us God.

And the anger comes out in passive aggressiveness, and negativity, avoidance, moodiness, overreactions, defensiveness, argumentativeness, brooding, lashing out subtly, and flip-flopping on my thoughts, feelings, and choices.

I just want to heal and move forward.

@BeeYoSa

really? they've progessively changed their sound since this album. this is the only album I can listen to from beginning to end without EVER skipping a track, and I've been listening to them since they started.

@MrBeefyBeef

Believe is also fucking amazing but after that shit got pretty mediocre. Also, ten thousand fists was ok but that was about it.
