The last track, Dog Days, is about no one else but a father. A screaming match ending up changing the course of a family's life. A certain type of screaming that echoes into the future permanently changing the way you hear your own voice.
lyrics
i’m walking aimlessly in dark aurora
where neon lights replace
the luster the moon once boasted
i’m close to home but i don’t think i want to be there tonight
the walls remind me of places I can’t be in
and faces that i never thought would haunt me
in my own nightmare
this is just temporary
i know we’ll power through
this is just temporary
let this be temporary
do you remember when:
i screamed at you when nothing made much sense
i screamed at you and my voice will never sound the same
