III Lyrics

I've seen things that I never wanted to see
Pull me down and I can't come back
And it seems like they're always coming in III's
They close in and I can't react

I can't believe
That you're a part of everything when it breaks in III
And you're laughing back at me

In times of pain
And tragedy
It comes in waves, it comes in III's
When everything
Comes down on me
It comes in waves, it comes in III's
(It comes in waves, it comes in III's)

You burn everything that you touch to the ground
You leave behind a trail of lies
You lost
Any chance to bring this back to life

I can't believe
That you're a part of everything when it breaks in III
And you're laughing back at me

In times of pain
And tragedy
It comes in waves, it comes in III's
When everything
Comes down on me
It comes in waves, it comes in III's

Well, looks who's laughing now

In times of pain
And tragedy
You're behind it all
You're the worst of III

So go and say it with a smile

It's just another crooked lie

In times of pain
And tragedy
It comes in waves, it comes in III's
When everything
Comes down on me
It comes in waves, it comes in III's

Oh
It comes in III's
It comes in III's
It comes in III's
It comes in III's
It comes in III's

Cover art for III lyrics by Sleep Theory

This is about betrayal and the pain of trusting someone who ultimately lets you down, according to frontman Cullen Moore. The song explores the feeling of realizing not everyone is who they claim to be, encouraging listeners to learn from such experiences rather than being broken by them. The title "III" may also allude to the superstition that bad luck or negative events often come in threes.
