With this being the first song in the album it holds a similar theme to songs from previous releases. After my time spent in university everything was so monotonous and I couldn't take it anymore. I was miserable there, and it was taking its toll on me outside of school as well. In this song, and a number of others on the album I don't speak too highly of myself. I was not a happy person at McMaster University and it might have been a good thing that I left when I did. I was alone. Everyday was the same. I felt as if I was just "there" and nothing more. This song also deals with how hard it is watching your loved ones slowly die around you. When articulated like that, it does sound very dark. However, the realization that some people will never come back is one of the hardest things anyone will have to deal with, it is not easy in the slightest.
lyrics
I'm so tired of losing sleep over things that I can't change, history just repeats.
I'm so clouded, it's hard to see when the past year you've been buried beneath the leaves
It's revolving around the fact that I seclude myself and do this every time.
So forget everything you wanted to be.
There's bound to be something better than me.
The comfort is gone in my own home.
I've grown bored of this time spent alone.
