Trivial mistakes and instant regrets. An exaggeration of physical in-capabilities and intolerance, 78 is a microcosm of personal actions and decisions that we already know would cause some degree of harm. This track is the first song written particularly for the band's sound and anchors the record's intentions.
lyrics
i have no reason to stay
calm when all's crumbling beneath
i feel my lungs tightening
and i can't even breathe
days have passed by
i still can't look you in the eye
life is short and i have shortened mine
sooner or later i'll leave this place behind
'cause i have no reason to stay
calm when all's crumbling beneath
i have no one else to blame
but myself for these mistakes
My introduction to the Appleseed Cast, which came at an important time in my life. Marigold & Patchwork, in particular, is a song I revisit frequently. Ben Birkinbine
