This track details the rise and fall of Benedict's initial relationship with She.

lyrics

I am not a Blank Slate
Yeah I've been here before
I know how you resonate
Your vibrations I adore
I am not a Blank Slate
But this is new
I'll sing something adequate
To detail that truth

I am not a blank yeah I've been here once before
Not at all by accident I've slept on this floor
Time moves in phases, yeah man I saw the waves
But I still recognise that face

'Cause you can wear my shoes then go walking
I'm sure it's for the best
Fulfill the urge how-ever fleeting
Unsure of your love interest

Hide the news you grin and bare it all, and it's the best
Sight I know, wood for the fire spent, her fingers grip
Deny the truth you spin and turn your tail, and it's the worst
Sight I know, we just got started.

'Cause you can wear my shoes, then go walking
I'm sure it's for the best
Fulfill the urge however fleeting
Unsure of your love interest
'Cause I'm the blue you, chose to dive in
Unsure of the depth
Resigned to an early morning
I left

I am not a Blank Slate
This is objective fate
Develop mental states
Between them I'll navigate

So I'm back to you
Choosing to induce those blues
Lying in my bed
Toss and turn
It seems I'll never learn
To forget

The music reflects his character, beautiful and distorted in equal measure. ... more
