Erase This used to be called 'Vanilla', also we're getting used to that name. This was one of the very last ones to finish. I was writing the lyrics throughout the recording process, like I'd always have homework at night. Would be working in the studio and going for it and I'd be going home and finishing lyrics to songs before we got there, which was crazy. I'm not really like that, there's always a little bit of writing going on in the studio but for me I usually have the songs really mapped out vocally before we go in.
But since we did so much writing in that pre-production phase, I had a lot of lyrics to write. The lyrics take me the longest like, we'd come up with the music and the melodies but then I have to really spent some serious deep thinking time alone.[1] |

Lyrics
It’s too late to change your mind
Even though this fragile world
Is tearing apart at the seams
I can’t wash these sins away
This sinking feeling everyday
I’m waking up in someone else’s life
Is it so hard for you?
‘Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe that what we dream
Could ever come to life again
‘Cause I cannot erase this lie
I’m not gonna let this day go by
I’m gonna save this wasted life
And nothing can stand in my way
Not enough to say goodbye
Burn it 'til there’s nothing left
I'm drowning in the mess that I have made
Is it so hard for you?
‘Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe that what we dream
Could ever come to life again
‘Cause I cannot erase this darkness in me
The water’s rising around us
There is no other way down
I only have myself to blame
For it all, all
Is it so hard for you?
‘Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe that what we dream
Could ever come to life again
If I could just erase my mind
But I cannot erase this lie
