about

It's about something that happened to William (hint: the track art means something), but it's incidentally similar to a few other things, so I think I'll let you think it means whatever you think it means.

lyrics

This room has been so cold for so long
And the growing shadows tell me of the time
There is a fear and a love here so very strong
Telling me that I do and do not belong

And with all of the arbitrary
Indecision
And incisions
Over years by
Countless barbers
I've been made to bleed
And though the pain and the
Scars have been
Quite severe, it's the
Judgment and the
Reckoning that I need

[chorus]
So let’s move along now
You barristers and dames
I recognize your faces
But remember not your names
Some got the education and some got the brains
Some carry the keys while others just pull the chains

[instrumental break]

Until my presence here has been replaced with my absence
There’ll be no high pressure measures and even less to tell
And as long as symptoms are passed along as evidence
I’ll go on believing rumors that the treatments are going well

[repeat chorus twice]
