Bands start for many reasons: girls, drugs, free booze. Subjective Well Being merely wanted Pop Tarts.

Story behind the song
Next to "Transmissions" this is my favorite song that we ever wrote. I had the bass riff for this song for years, probably dating back to 2001 but it didn't really fit into what we were doing at that time, so I just kept it in the back of my mind, usually playing it to warm my fingers up for shows. Like a lot of our songs for "Ghosts", I was playing it one day and Russ began to play along with it, and after about an hour we had the verses and the choruses. We didn't have a breakdown, and this is when we discovered the single most important thing that we could: when in doubt of a breakdown, play it with Taylor, and it will work itself out. And it did in spades. Russ took a few notes that he had for the bridge and he and Taylor really figured it quickly. Taylor also came up with the fantastic intro drums really quickly. I'm telling you, the dude has more skills than people know. Lyrically, I like this one a lot. It's about those long nights where you can't sleep, the sort that I suppose you call dark nights of the soul. I was going through a rough period at the time, those mid twenties blues when you do not know what you want to do or how to get there. I always played this one off as something I wrote to end the record, but it's more personal than any other song on any of the records, save maybe "The Muffin Shoppe Is Closed". Russ came up with the bridge, and it worked. I summed up how I was feeling awfully well. So really, I like this song. The recording has some problems (Russ' vocal take is stronger than mine, so I do not why I kept myself on it) but I could care less. This one just works for me.
Lyrics
I broke my fingers on fingernails crawling in the dark I'm sure the wounds will heal I can feel it beginning to start Let us bury the hatchet before the hatchet burines us Pretending to be alive does no good for either of us. Let's replicate the pleasure from these brusies on our backs I've gone so far astray that I lost the crumbs leading me back I pulled off your angelic wings My hands covered in blood It's easier to be buried below the Earth then to even stand up CHORUS There is no way back from here. There is no exit here. BRIDGE All my heroes are dead. All my friends are gone. And so shall we all. Before too long.
