Music / The Bones of What You Believe

I'm feeling capable of seeing the end, I'm feeling capable of saying it's over.

Come in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

— "The Mother We Share"

The Tropes of What You Believe:

• Alternate Album Cover: The Special Edition version◊ inverts the red and blue on the cover.
• Fading into the Next Song: "Night Sky" —> "Science/Visions"
• Gratuitous Panning: On "The Mother We Share", the opening "Oh ah oh oh oh ah" vocals repeatedly bounce back and forth between the left and right channels.
• Last Note Nightmare: "We Sink" ends with some weird digital gurgling, which sound like the bottom of the sea.
• Longest Song Goes Last: "You Caught the Light" is the longest song, going over 5 minutes.
