I won't leave pages for the histories,
Traces leading back to me,
Fall into a microsleep
And I deplete, I won't leave a legacy,
There'll be nothing left of me,
Fall into a microsleep
I may be entertaining fantasies,
Holding onto childish dreams,
But they're always out of reach
And I know these are wasted opportunities,
Searching in your hollow screen,
Fall into a microsleep
I've already given blood, I know that it's not enough,
But it's everything I've got
If the weight of the world is too much for you to hold,
Thank God I'm not the only one, thank God I'm not the only one
I won't leave pages for the histories,
Traces leading back to me,
Fall into a microsleep
I've already given blood, I know that it's not enough,
But it's everything I've got
If the weight of the world is too much for you to hold,
Thank God I'm not the only one, thank God I'm not the only one

I love the spaciousness of this album and it was a dream to record. No overdubs or endless retakes, just a band playing together in one room. Mechanical Pterodactyl
