This track has some cool, if not too morbid, lyrics inspired by Poe and his notion of the Imp of the Perverse. It is about the moment, he says, when everyone considers offing themselves. Thus each verse is a different way to snuff it. The instrumentation, though played without a great deal of technical proficiency, is pretty, and compensates for the morbid words. I played all the instruments.
