What I really like about this track is how much we got to experiment with sounds and melodies and rap. It was pretty daunting and the parts of this song went through quite a few iterations, but I think, in the end, it turned out really well! I really love the way going from a 7-verse to an 8-chorus can really make the chorus soar.

- I like this song. Especially the way that time signatures, vocals and symphonic elements blend together.

lyrics
When you imagine me
Do you think of my ability?
Or am I complication?
A bad dream of my own imagination?
I live a just life but that's just life
But in the end we're only be star dust
And it makes me miserable
Why must I be so one dimensional?
Justice just is a busted biz
Substance is one chance to give half a shit
Cursed Morality was the first fatality
But i’ve got alibi’s I’ll never use
and fall guys who you can abuse
And tall guys who take break the rules
Cry cry cry till you die die die
So Noah take em two by to onto this ship of fools
I live a just life but that's just life
And soon we'll only be star dust
And it makes me miserable
Why must I be so one dimensional?
I'm chilling on the roof
And if the wind doesn't chill my heart
I won't be inclined to leap
It's a sign I realize with a start
I'm alive cuz I no longer strive to think six feet deep
