This song captures the feeling of anger and exasperation at being forced into a box by the expectations of others, and gradually becoming bitter and callous. Finally you have a moment where it all becomes too much and the decision is made to just say 'screw it'.

lyrics

Save yourself
savour the moment
that I can tell
open the window to shout the sky
give me a reason to sympathise
to open up my eyes

What is right?
you're forcing the issue
callous
makes us who we are
makes me who I am

Now I'm never coming back
separated from the pack
burn all my bridges to the ground

Come undone
live for the night and the morning sun
searching the darkness to find someone
to blind someone
causing a panic
escape with my static heart

Now I'm never coming back
separated from the pack
burn all my bridges to the ground
give me a reason
to feel anything for you
but why would I want to
why would I want to

Now I'm never coming back
Now I'm never coming back
separated from the pack
separated from the pack

(whoa)

Now I'm never coming back
separated from the pack
burn all my bridges to the ground
give me a reason
to feel anything for you
but why would I want to
why would I want to
