I wrote that 5pm on a Saturday,laying on my back,looking so bored. It was nothing to do. No one was hitting me back. Jasper was in the other room,bored out of his mind but I didn't see him all day. My room was warm as hell because I like the heater on and it was nothing to eat but dry cereal. And I'm sitting there like what the fuck am I gonna do? I literally wrote that verse in like ten seconds. [5]
