about

Much of this songs lyrical content was inspired by and references Bioshock Infinite.

lyrics

I wanna go swim out in the ocean
get swept out by the undertow
and I'll wake up at the lighthouse
and I'll step through the door to the other side

where I'll find another You and another I
in another universe in another time
where I treated you a whole lot better and maybe
we fell in love with one another

cause we found a way to not hate ourselves
and we found a way to get not sad
and I found a way to not continue to make
every mistake I make to this day

SOME PEOPLE ARE SCUMBAGS
SOME PEOPLE ARE SCUMBAGS
SOME PEOPLE ARE SCUMBAGS
SOME PEOPLE ARE ME

so I'll walk the dock to another lighthouse
take another door to the other other side
to another universe but just like mine
Where I'll find you waiting, Kiora

I'll let you drown me, I'll let you drown me
I'll let you drown me, I'll let you drown me
I'll let you drown me, to end this cycle of
my iniquity

"hey. hey, come on. I don't think you're crazy, all right?"
"yes, you do."
"No I don't"
"You told your therapist that you were in a superior mental illness category, diddn't you?
"hey calm down"
"just leave me alone"
"can i just explain myself please? i didn't want nikki to think that I was associated with that kind of sexual behavior because I've never done anything like that, okay?"
"You may not have experienced the shit that I did, but you loved hearing about it, didn't you? You are afraid to be alive. You are afraid to live. You're a hypocrite. you're a conformist. you're a liar. I opened up to you and you judged me. You are an asshole. You are an asshole!"
