Story Behind The Song
Joe's Words: Not necessarily the most depressed/depressing song in our catalog, but the one that got recorded. "Hurt me so I'll know I'm alive". How Notch and I survived our 20s is a bit of a mystery! I still very much like the atmospheric arrangement on

Lyrics
Put my thoughts of laughter away
You know I want to scream it
You felt and tasted different today
Like you didn?t really mean it, I?ve seen it
All the love that I held inside me for so long
All the love that you had for me has gone so wrong
I don?t belong
You were she, you were the truth
You were me, you were my youth
Hurt me so I?ll know I?m alive
I can see your thoughts and your schemes
I only wish you?d choose me
As I choke on ashes of dreams
I only wish you?d use me, confuse me, abuse me
All the love that I held inside me for so long
All the love that you had for me has gone so wrong
I don?t belong
You were she, you were the truth
You were me, you were my youth
Hurt me so I?ll know I?m alive
