I swear I never meant to erase you
I swear I never meant to do you harm
If living is so delicate, my leaving is a tourniquet
I'm breathing in the broken window pane

Annihilate the only ties I have left to lose
A diamond shape, the lattice breaks, I follow

In this state of hysteria
I can save everything I betrayed
Annihilate, the lattice breaks
I follow the pain I create

Hide my blood in images and
Make sense of a false connection like
How did I get here? (how did I get here?)
How do I hold on (how do I hold on)
To diamonds in my head (diamonds in my head)
And diamonds in my lungs? (diamonds in my lungs)

Annihilate the only ties I have just to lose someone
A diamond shape, the lattice breaks, I follow

In this state of hysteria
I can save everything I betrayed
Annihilate, the lattice breaks
I follow the pain I create

What I've created as violent delights in my head
Will have a violent end
A broken violent end
And I feel fear disintegrate
Axis annihilate
In crystal clarity
Tension pulling me in the shadows

    My Interpretation

    I believe this is about keeping the connection to ones true self while being swept up in the hysteria of fame & all of it's complexities. Spiritbox has seen much success thus far, so inspiration would assuredly have stemmed from this.
