The demo for Going Down sat on my iPod for months. I never listened to it. I just wasn't happy with the sound. But then, one day, I played it in my car, and lyrics came to me.

Left me with these broken wings
We don't sing, we're just livid

Circumstance, it thrums
Cholera inside me runs

That you said I'd be
This ain't what I bargained for

Forgive me
But you're not the one
That I thought you'd be
Now what's behind that door?
