Story behind the song

A simple track that ended up being the last song written for the album. Written during the recording process, "Bitter" surfaced after an argument on the issues surrounding passion versus obligation.

Feeling morbid on the inside, but not violent enough to kill, "Bitter" literally spewed out into existence, encapsulating all the ugly thoughts one feels after a heated disagreement with no resolution. The black-key laced melody shifts through the emotions of mock-indifference to pure darkness, making "Bitter" a track that sounds depressing but on the edge. Not a particular favorite, as far as listeners were concerned, but a keen predecessor to "Wandering Eye."

Lyrics

Bitter thoughts
Shining like tragedy
Why do you
Continue
To speak

Bitter feeling
Trickling like saccharine
Curl the spine
'Round again
And breathe

Why do you resist
How can you persist
The dark monster feeds on coal

Bitter memory
Fading in like Jupiter
Tongue split by dagger
And bleeds

So this is what you get from me
What could you expect from me
