Lyrics:
You take the long way
Wrong way to form me
And the time is now
I never would have thought this is the new me
So many people
So many faces left to please around me
You’re ready to play dead?
I’m ready to face it
As I’m falling to pieces, the vultures are feasting
We’ve breached the precipice 
Long way down
Now I’ll say this: I’m in hell, passed the mark I’ve missed

Mistakes running through my brain
There’s a lesson to be learned and I’ll heal again
Bloodstains cover all the walls
I’m the pessimist patient doll
So here I sit like a marionette 
Strings on my limbs, rope on my neck 
The hell below exists within my bed
Counting every misstep ‘till it’s time to reset
It feels so low, the love I’ve known
Floating on my own
Forward
Back
It’s all the same now
This is a one way road
Somebody do it slowly… kill me slowly

The past is cutting through me and all the imperfections, they show
Heartbeat haunts me
When all the bad times stick and I don’t know what to do with them, I’m burning like wildfire
Take me fucking out of this hole
Heartbeat haunts me
‘Cause all the bad times stayed and I don’t know what I’m doing here

Mistakes coursing through my veins like the heroin needle to the addict’s brain
Bloodstains
Hanging from the wall is the pessimist patient doll
So here I sit like a marionette 
A slave to thoughts
They’re like a weight on my chest
An appetite for neither food nor sex
With a malicious intent I’ll take two to the head

(Solo: Mansoor)

You put the strings on my limbs
I put the rope on my neck
You put the strings on my limbs
I put the rope around my fucking neck

You put the strings on my limbs
Now I’m the one with the rope on my neck

(Sax solo: Munkeby)

[SavvierNelson]

It's so good to see Bono still going strong after all these years!

[VeritabIlIti]

This is probably the most Periphery song that has ever Peripheried in the history of Periphery

[SeanTenney]

This era of long hair for Misha, Jake and Mark is what we needed. Spencer is officially at the height of his power and Matt’s drumming makes me want to buy every GGD package available. P5 is going to be so sick. Wildfire is amazing!

[XavierAway]

These guys better be careful, if they keep releasing bangers like this djent might become a genre…

[Ryanopuffs]

The chorus is the strangest structure ever but it feels so addicting and also so fresh and new

[BigRedMate]

[RecordingStudioLoser]

The sax break that none of us asked for but all of us needed...

[aldenrogers]

this is the most oddly/catchiest chorus i have heard in probably 20 years and i freaking love it

[nearyxciv]

Great to see Matt doing backing vocals. "2, 3, 4" hits me right in the feels

[Radtastical]

Was having a terrible day, then I come home to a new song from Periphery. Day instantly better.

[TheVoodoo]

So nice of Bono to cover the new Periphery song so soon <3 what a tribute!!

[thisnamesbetter]

As a drummer I can tell you 1:06 is a dream for some of us. Solo counting the band back in with stick clicks, it just makes you feel so cool 😎

[joaoldmedeiros]

You guys can turn even the cliché abandoned warehouse videoclip into something special! Love this ❤❤❤

[ManleyReviews]

Spencer always be looking like GTA DLC

[thewomanwithnohead]

Spencer : **dressed like a 70's disco singer ready to compete with John Travolta**
Also Spencer : **dropping the heaviest singing and lyrics you've ever heard**

[horaciogonzalez]

Don’t care if Djent is not a genre or if trve metal exists, this song lifted my soul and put an smile in my face after an horrific day, I’m grateful for being alive

[CameronLosch]

Everyone take notes. This is the future of progressive music right here. This one will be on repeat

[charlestollner]

Ok, I’m a massive metalhead and I have been in love with periphery for a while. But I also love jazz and weird chord progressions, and ngl, that little jazz break just randomly in the middle of the the song just made me think “yep, that’s periphery”.
Fucking amazing, can’t wait for the new album

[michaelfjmusic]

Having a soothing saxophone solo right in the middle of an Earth-shatteringly heavy song, and still making it sound good, is the most Periphery thing ever.

4:25
I love it when metal bands go to their soft side
Opeth with their beautiful Folk side
Periphery with the smooth jazz
It's amazing
