we are very proud of this song. this is another one we wrote with piano and drums two years ago. it evolved into something so different we decided to make it the closing track of the EP.

lyrics

i said a lot of words that don't mean anything..
that is how i learned i'm not good at talking.
from now on, i'll sing everything
from now on. i'll mean everything

i don't want to see you go, but i will
oh, i don't want to let you go, but i have to
i absolutely have to.

my tongue is running faster than my mouth can keep up with.
(up with)
this is the only project i haven't given up with.
(up with)

i don't want to see you go, but i will,
oh, i don't want to let you go, but i have to.
(i absolutely have to.)

i won't talk to you, i won't call...
i won't say anything anymore.
i'll speak in riddles so that no one knows...
another planet, a place to hide or go where light won't reach us
and nothing grows.
i'll just rot away, become one with the earth. one with the earth.
become one with the earth.
