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.
Alone in my bed thinking of you
Your beautiful smile turned to be faked and cruel
Shape of an angel but nothing inside
I was blinded by the gaze in your eyes
Losing my mind
Losing my will to live, my strength to carry on
Our lust of this love is gone
Crashing down
From way too high
No more tears left to cry
I thought we're born to share this life
Another victim of your lies
It's here and now, the moment of truth
No more lies, no angel disguise
You can't hurt me now
Who's the next you let down?
Another victim of your lies
Losing my mind
Losing my will to live, my strength to carry on
Our lust of this love is gone
Crashing down
From way too high
No more tears left to cry
I thought we're born to share this life
Another victim of your lies
Your beautiful smile turned to be faked and cruel
Shape of an angel but nothing inside
I was blinded by the gaze in your eyes
Losing my mind
Losing my will to live, my strength to carry on
Our lust of this love is gone
Crashing down
From way too high
No more tears left to cry
I thought we're born to share this life
Another victim of your lies
It's here and now, the moment of truth
No more lies, no angel disguise
You can't hurt me now
Who's the next you let down?
Another victim of your lies
Losing my mind
Losing my will to live, my strength to carry on
Our lust of this love is gone
Crashing down
From way too high
No more tears left to cry
I thought we're born to share this life
Another victim of your lies
