    The music is great but we need to talk about the production quality of this stop-motion animation. Next level. Props to Joe Baughman and his very small team!

    this whole album is such a masterpiece....as someone who has struggled with life-long chronic depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse, and who is currently in a relapse right now, this album really hits close to home. it hurts, but in a good way. exactly what i needed right now.

      I kept getting tired of faith healer by early December and then eventually I kept thinking we weren't getting anything else before the album but then a new single gets announced which I was really happy about as the wait between hardlines and faith healer was too long and i was getting super inpatient.

      @@sethmishne yeah, me too, kind of. I also thought that Faith Healer was the only single we would get while waiting for the release of the album. And I probably listened to it every day so I needed something new. And Julien just came here and saved us all.

    LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    Blackout on a weekday
    Still, something that I'm trying to avoid
    Start asking for forgiveness in advance
    For all the future things I will destroy
    That way I can ruin everything
    When I do, you don't get to act surprised
    When it finally gets to be too much
    I always told you you could leave at any time
    Until then I'll split the difference
    Between medicine and poison
    Take what I can get away with
    While it burns right through my stomach
    I'm telling my own fortune
    Something I cannot escape
    I can see where this is going
    But I can't find the brake
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Verse 2]
    Knocked out on a weekend
    Would you hit me this hard if I werе a boy?
    See, I don't need you to defend me
    'Causе it's just the sort of thing that I enjoy
    Took the fallout, draw a hard line
    When I cross it, it's the third time
    Say my own name in the mirror
    And when nobody appears
    Say it's not so cut and dry
    Oh, it isn't black and white
    What if it's all black, baby?
    All the time
    [Outro]
    Oh, all the time
    Oh, all the time
    Oh, all the time
