Story Behind The Song
I was feeling particularly sad about the way someone had been treating me in life. I felt as though I was being taken advantage of.
Song Description
A song about consuming what doesn't belong to you and the affects that it has on the people you're taking advantage of. I wanted to write about all of the people who take from others. Steal energy and love and material things. Feeling as if it's owed to them.

Lyrics
First call to wake me up in a while. I guess I've lost my style, wouldn't you like to know. I hear your voice on the other line, I guess you're doing fine, you don't care to know. I feel like I've built a mountain around me like it was a necessity instead of crying to sleep. And here you're asking so easily for a lucky penny a fall that I'd never leap.
Chorus:What's mine is yours. And it didn't take long to find out what yours is also yours.
Verse: The sky is lit up with some messed up hue and I'd trade my view to see the sun set in the east. I hear you calling from the outside in and you're living in sing as much as the rest at the feast. You can't help a bee that's fallen in honey, the future is looking sunny from his point of view. I throw the towel in and tell you no, a word you'll grow to know, but you're a grown up now too.
Chorus: What's mine is yours, and it didn't take long to find out what's yours is also yours.
