I did this track with my girlfriend Lanna. It started off with just a finger picked riff that she came up with and then I started noodling around on electric guitar to develop the sound. This is my favorite song lyrically on the EP.

lyrics
Images grow in my mind
They spill over and fill the lines
They're cracks in my skin
Smiles carving deep within
In dreams I dance with Frankenstein
Reality and I resign
I finally crawl
I always used to stand too tall
I never knew that I was falling
Falling and breaking down
I never knew that I was calling
Calling out to monsters in my head
I told myself that life was short
So now I'm twenty and I'm bored
My train's en route
To someplace I could live without
I never knew that I was falling
Falling and breaking down
I never knew that I was calling
Calling out to monsters in my head
Images grow in my mind
This is how I spend my time
