It's hard to explain how, but this song was inspired by this bridge that i used to walk under often when i was in Poitiers. there was just a walking path that went under it, but for some reason the first time that i would look at it every time i took the walk it REALLY looked like the whole thing was girating and moving around like a worm. but then it would stop, and even if i would look away and then look back it would look normal. but then the next time i'd come back it would always do it again. truly don't understand it.
lyrics
what if i don't see as clearly
as i thought making myself believe
that the things i think are absolute
can be truly absolute
i can't trust my senses anyway
i can't trust my self to say
all the things that i need to get out
i don't have it anyway
why not give it away
ally control me
oh lavey, why do you fail me
i tried to let myself live freely
but living my life as my own god
is barely better than not living at all
oh maggie, i don't want to fail you
fear is why i do everything i do
maybe even if you leave you're not gone
i guess now i'm alone again
get behind me satan!
