The pressure builds, layer after layer
I need to find something and break it
I hate what I have become
An addict to my own self pity
I'm tired of breaking down
And loosing my composure
Break the cycle, instead of yourself
That's what she'd have said
I hate what I have become
Well maybe I just need your long hair
to get lost in, tangled up in
To help me better myself
To help me rescue us
I wish there was a way
to show you
how much I appreciate you
putting up with my shit

You mistook the roof above my head,
confusing it with my home
In fact the clavicle in your bed
was the only home I've known
My ears ache to hear
the cadence of your voice
My calloused fingers clenched around
something that you left
Our bed
Intimate adventures, well spent
A plateau to great for me alone
I'd rather choose the ground
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up anymore

about
"People Leave" is a dramatic ballad that speaks on relationships and how it can be hard to see moving on as an option. The vocals are powerful and mournful, speaking of trying to recover whilst battling emotions of regret and self pity. The instrumentation reinforces these poignant lyrics with a large variance in dynamics throughout, with a slower, calmer mid section leading to an explosive finish. The vocals drop out some time before the ending of the song, allowing the instruments to continue show how rathe emotion is, striking out the same chords and riffs before closing on one last forlorn note.
Paired with this single is a b-side that focuses more on the aura of acceptance and finding comfort in suffering and heartache. "Intimate Adventures, Well Spent" savers as a sombre counterpart to the themes of the single, whilst staying true to the bands honesty on hardships and co-dependance.
