Name: Atom Splitting; or the Atomic Bomb
Duration: P00H02M00S
Description: I wrote this song at a Caspian/Cursive/Minus the Bear show, but I can't remember why. It's themes are similar to Birds; although this one is addressed to a single individual rather than a pondering about that archetype in general. The individual is unspecified both in the song and in my mind. This one's pretty self-explanatory from there-on-out.

lyrics

Welcome home, it's a hospital today
Yeah we're dying, but it don't hurt, no it can't hurt everyday

Look at your world, you're the center of your universe, fold inward collapse, relax, it's only a matter of

Time it's gone like the bonds that you broke (so long ago)

Welcome home, you're young and sprung and full of energy
you should hold that tongue but you don't, no you won't

Look at your world, you're the center of your universe, fold inward collapse, relax, it's only a matter of

Time it's gone like the bonds that you broke (so long ago)
