Everything is catching up with me
I awake to find I'm not at all where I should be
And it feels I'm getting to the end
And it's hard to figure out
What's real and what's pretend

To break from what we're tied to
God knows how much I've tried to

And I am still inside you
And I am still inside you

I escape every now and then
And to think I find myself
Back here again, and again

I used to know who I was
Until you came along
I return to the only place
I've ever felt that I belong

To break from what we're tied to
God knows how much I've tried to

And I am still inside you
And I am still inside you

    It's that feeling when you meet someone that you can't live without. Every now and then, he feels he can live without her; but that feeling doesn't last very long.

    I think it's about brain damage or something "i awake to find i´m not at all where i should be" but this is damn cool song.

    He's clearly addicted to cocaine again.

    It's a direct reference to a song on his first CD, "Sanctified" in which he is talking about his cocaine addiction.

    In Sanctified, he says, "If you say come inside I'll come inside."

    In this song, when he says "And I am still inside you," he's still addicted to cocaine.

    The song is about all the times he has tried to break the habit, and he thought he should have by now.

    Maynard? Cocaine? Wtf man. he's drug free way to be.

    This song is about his relocation to LA and finding ways to escape the pressure, and aging. As he feels he's "getting to the end"

    KEELK04 This song is actually the last one on the With theeth album. I didn´t know it was an extra, it stays up normal, no silence before it starts... are you sure you haven´t found it yet?
