Name: Our Demise
Duration: P00H03M23S
Description: This is a b-side off our full length release, "All I Am Is What You Left Behind". We decided to leave this one off the album because it didn't really fit with the rest of the tracks. We re-wrote the lyrics and melody 3 times over, and none of them got us particularly stoked, which is a shame cos the music is sick. This was the final version we came up with.

lyrics

Oh no, I've screwed it up again
I wasn't looking and I fell straight off the edge
I prepared so well
Impossible to lose
I just never learned to tie my shoes

And I don't know if I'm worth it
But I don't think I deserve this

I'm living in denial that this was more your fault than mine
I should have seen it coming, but I didn't see the signs

I really thought I was the fire in your eyes
These fading embers lead to our demise, and it all burnt down

Oh shit, now I've become such a mess
I guess I didn't prepare for any of this
I don't want to live with this mistake
I should have known that you wouldn't stay
