The thought is over
You step out to the street
Street light shining down
Casting shadows at our feet
Things that need to be said
Are the words I cannot find
Cannot bring myself to
Empty the weight of my mind

What do you do
When you need to share yourself
When the words you mean to say
Aren't coming out of your mouth

How does it feel
When it tears you up inside
Do you love me back
Do you know that I'm alive
(Do you know that I'm alive)

Baby, I love you is what I've said
Why can't you notice how I feel inside
What if you don't feel the same way
My heart would burst
And I would simply die

We talk as we stroll along
The morning shining veil
She says, "I like your sweater."
I told her, "Structure had a sale."
Are you flirting with me
Are you just being nice
If I could see inside your head
I'd be able to sleep at night

What do you do
When you need to share yourself
When the words you mean to say
Aren't coming out of your mouth

How does it feel
When it tears you up inside
Do you love me back
Do you know that I'm alive
(Do you know that I'm alive)

Baby, I love you is what I've said
Why can't you notice how I feel inside
What if you don't feel the same way
My heart would burst
And I would simply die

And what would you say
If I told you how I feel
You never noticed me before
Why can't this just be real
The things I do just to make you smile
I could talk for hours
Won't you listen for awhile
Listen for a while...

Baby, I love you is what I've said
Why can't you notice how I feel inside
What if you don't feel the same way
My heart would burst
And I would simply die

I WOULD SIMPLY DIE
(Repeat 4x)

I would simply,I would simply, I would simply die
I would simply die...
I would simply die...

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
