I (Ali) only had half of the writing credit even though its very personal for me. I had the idea to mix Post hardcore and Melodeath a while before the song was created. But I didn't have any idea of how to make the sound cohesive as far as the guitars. I had a knack for making Melodeath but post hardcore was always hard for me. It wasn't until we met Danny that this song was possible. He had a knack for making post hardcore and he didn't even know it yet. His chord choice and knowledge was uncanny. I got him into bands like hail the sun and la dispute and the rest was history. The thing that tied this song together was the switch from the beginning chords into the chorus. Danny's clean arpeggio reminded me of old Emarosa and gave me an opportunity to sing to the best of my ability. When the blast beat and chorus comes in I gave off that Killswitch Engage vibe that kids in our hometown love and the song became something special instantly. The Black Dahlia Murder, Wretched, and Dethklok definitely inspired the melodic death metal parts in the song but the post hardcore part in the middle was inspired by Dance Gavin Dance and Hummanequin by The Color Morale. It was a Huge blend of sounds. by the time the song was done we had made the second breakdown with the intent of letting Danny solo because this is the first solo he has ever recorded for the band and we wanted to let him shine.

Lyrically we wanted to write from the heart for this one. We wanted it to mean something to someone out there going through the same thing. Its kind of cliche but its one of the easiest forms of therapy for a broken musician. When the crowd sings your therapy song with you, that's when you feel the most alive.

Vocally Rico also did something for the first time by using a shout/mid range scream. he literally walked up to the mic tired from lack of sleep one day and decided to yell but it sounded so good that me and domo recorded him and those are the actual tracks we recorded on the first verse of the song. that first verse of shouts is the only part of vocals that wasn't recorded with Jamie King.

And getting the legendary Jonny Craig on the track was the icing on the cake. Needless to say, he killed it. But this song was about my relationship. It ended tragically because I had known she was never gonna be strong enough to be faithful. What I didn't expect was the countless lies and deceit from someone i had known so many years. Jonny knew exactly how i felt and made sure to give the song an extra push. I thought the song was complete and actually gave Jonny something specific to sing but he heard something special and just added on top of what I already had making the song fuller and more emotional than it previously was. That moment when i heard our voices together made me feel like I had achieved my goal.
