about

Bloody Knees is the grand intro to the album. Originally I wanted to do every track on this album with this level of instrumentation, but it proved to be overhwhelming and honestly took away from the album more than it gave.
Bloody Knees introduces Arsonist as they come to the realization that not only have they grown up, they are suddenly aware of a place where they have no one. Where they are truly left alone.
The air feels familiar, the place is the same, but so much else has changed. And more than likely for the worst.
Arsonist desperately wants to see the world through the rose tinted glasses of childhood but no longer can.

I learned how to ride a bike while living in a trailer court in Mandan, North Dakota. I fell a lot. But I kept going. I will miss the years spent at 114 Country Side Lane.
Before I learned what was actually going on around me. Before I was aware of much of anything other than my gameboy and learning basic mathematics.

lyrics

The air feels like the summer when I first learned how to ride a bike, I must have fell a billion times. I wish I felt the same determination. Eventually we all run out of people to run to when we hurt ourselves. At some point or another everyone tells you "you've gotta learn how to fend for yourself".
Maybe I am tired of bloody knees, the way my skin feels on the concrete. It was easier with people to run to. It was easier in a world that cared.
Who's supposed to pick me off the ground? Who's supposed to clean these wounds?
I miss the world, the way it was, and I hope I get to see it again soon.
