    These were a beast to make, so I most likely won't be doing something like this again (or at least for a while), but they were a fun labor of love. When designing and making these, I really set out to make the packaging of the disc a tactile experience, somewhat reminiscent of the days of records. I'm really proud of these, and of course the music, too, so I hope you absolutely love it. ~Jakob

lyrics

I gave you my eyes and I gave you my heart
But it wasn’t enough for you
You wanted my time but I wanted my art
So you said you were through
Now I know I need to warn the people I meet
That I’m really no good
It seems I’ll never choose you over my damn self
Is that understood?
‘Cause

I’m just a son of a bitch

We were together for a pretty long time
But time doesn’t make it right
We didn’t think that we were only temporary
So we held on tight
And I kept on slipping farther every day
I was just bringing you down
We were on two separate ships going different ways
I was just helping you drown
‘Cause

I’m just a son of a bitch

And I will not listen when you say it’s all my fault (for letting go)

I’m gonna be who I’m gonna be
I guess you better be you
I ain’t gonna change no I ain’t gonna change
Even if you want me to
Don’t you dare go thinking that we’ll meet up again
That’s selfish ‘cause you made it end
There’s so much about you I just can’t comprehend
So I won’t even pretend

I’m just a son of a bitch

All you cynical fuckers
Everyone’s a fucking cocksucker
So give a shit and don’t deny
or give a half-ass alabi
It’s just a title, don’t resist
Everyone’s a narcissist

I’m just a son of a bitch...
