    An aggressive metal song about apathy.
    Credits: Words: Ben Drexler, Music: Blank Slate

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written after Ben had a conflict with his roommates. Feeling annoyed with their lack of engagement and with human apathy in general, it was written as a defiant anthem to people who don't put anything back into the world. It was originally a slow-moody piece, but Peter changed the whole vibe of the song with an aggressive drum pattern that gave the whole piece a new depth. It was recorded in five takes over the course of three days.

    Lyrics
    I feel, I say
    What I think about and what you want today
    I know, no way
    I won't let you throw all my efforts away
    Do you see through?
    Janus, two-faced
    Dropping on me now, when I'm hurting and helpless
    Give me one time
    I'll turn all of the tables and give you a taste of bile
    Cut and cleaned

    And I
    You won't bleed me dry
    You won't waste my time
    I won't lay down and die
    But you don't care

    You drain my joy
    Want it for yourself or just a little green boy?
    I know your act
    I won't let you catch me in your bullshit trap
    Need a better home

    And I
    You won't bleed me dry
    You won't waste my time
    I won't lay down and die
    But you don't care

    And I feel like time just ain't on my side
    I feel the walls closing, sundown on my pride
    I watch, I hope for the best, but it's an uphill road
    When everyone around's looking out for number one
    My trust I throw like loaves out upon the mass
    But now I know I just catch it in the ass
    No need to grieve, there's better times up ahead
    And I can feel it

    And I
    You won't bleed me dry
    You won't waste my time
    I won't lay down and die
    But you don't care

    Bleed me dry
