about

The third song completed for the album. Code named "Jazz Chord Skramz" because of the use of jazzy chords in the beginning. Go figure! The lyrics are rather self explanatory. The outro of the track is my favorite part of the song, revisiting the pull off riff prior to the second verse but adding dirty ass bass chords to the mix. This track began my love affair with bass chords that appear all over the record. The track is titled after the 1976 film 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'.

lyrics

How can I live in the present
if I'm always trapped in the past?
I'm chasing echos and living lives
on change long spent.
The way your eyes taunt me
in old photographs still stuck on the wall,
How can I live?
Can I live?

I'm so tired of this existence.
If given the chance to leave,
I would gladly cease to be.
If meaning historical and suicide philosophical,
then paint me as the forgotten philosopher.

The things we have said cannot be given back.
"I just want something different, I'm sorry."

I'm lighting a match underneath our old photographs.
Just let it go, let things be.
Falling or not, you'd be falling with me.
You'd be falling with me.

The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey
