A completely "schizo" song, "Caducity" refers to the frailty of being useless. It's structure is spastic and unpredictable. The way the song is presented gives it a dual personality which is finally unleashed at the end.
lyrics
I can feel myself detach
That's how it is with an itch that you can't scratch
I exist, therefore I thought
I feel it there, though I know that it's not
Tingling will turn to nothing there
I once breathed fire, now I'm full of hot air
I don't need this anymore
I don't feel anything except for
Pins and needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep again and on
Caducity's a bitch when you're all
Pins and needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel
Off the road, now I can feel
Pins and needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep again and on
Caducity's a bitch when you're all
Pins and needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel
Off the road, now I can feel
Something stirring in my skull
Pride is weak and unreliable
Paralyze what matters most
When it counts, it's gone like a ghost
Tingling will turn to nothing there
I once breathed fire, now I'm full of hot air
I don't need this anymore
I don't feel anything except for
Pins and needles, pins and needles, pins and needles
Pins and needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel
Off the road now I can really
Feel the needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep again and on
Caducity's a bitch when you're a pawn
Pins and needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel
Off the road now I can really
Feel the needles, pins and needles
My phantom ego falling asleep again and on
Caducity's a bitch when you're a pawn
Borrowed time can chase me to my grave and take it away!
Dum, dum, dad-dum
Bop, bop-a-loo-bop
