This began as a cold lyric by Michael Melko. I had it a long time, trying to find the right melody. It all came together with the hook melody.
This is a vivid, heart-wrenching portrayal of mental illness and codependency. You can feel the narrator's anguish and conflict. Michael and I talked about the central conflict as we worked on the bridge: you're losing the fight when you're being sucked down instead of being a source of positive support.
It was produced and performed by Bryce Gullett.
