about

This song was originally written years ago, during an earlier state in the band's history. Since then it has evolved along with the changes in the band until it is finally being released now. The most recent lineup change and several months of playing it for live audiences really helped this version emerge from what was an otherwise 'old' song. We have shot a music video to accompany this song which will be released simultaneously on September 16th.

lyrics

You test my patience,
Split my head into two
The devil comes right out of me
And I wish I wasn’t so sweet
Sweet

Used me as a doormat,
Tried to break my legs
Your affliction caused my disease
And I wish I hadn’t been so naive
Naive

Metamorphosis is bullshit
I didn’t become someone new
Where you see crisis that notion
Is outdated and so are you

You can’t reach my magnitude
I tried to split my brain in two
Metamorphosis is bullshit
Try to tell me what to do
And I’ll call it quits

I’ve got persistence,
Finally grew a backbone
The devil comes right out of me
And I wish I wasn’t so sweet
Sweet

You force agitation,
Left me with uneasiness
Your deflection is your disease
And I wish I hadn’t been so naive
Naive

Metamorphosis is bullshit
I’ll cultivate my state either way
Your idleness affects no one
You confuse stability for stagnation

You can’t reach my magnitude
I tried to split my brain in two
Metamorphosis is bullshit
Try to tell me what to do
And I’ll call it quits

You can’t reach my magnitude
I won’t become another for you
Metamorphosis is bullshit
Try to tell me what to do
But I’ve had enough
