Cover art for 2012 lyrics by Word Alive, The

"This is the shortest song on the album and was recorded in Drop B, the lowest tuning on the record. When I first heard the song, I decided I wanted the mood to be very bleak. The song is named after our friend, C.J., who tours with us. We always joke about him being a serial killer. “2012” is about someone whose life was ruined by someone, but [the victim] came back for revenge and killed [the killer]. It has guest vocals by my good friend Levi Benton from Miss May I and is probably one of the darkest songs on the album. It's quick, heavy and will probably open up a few pits."
