Versions
In Two
This is the only known version. Beginning with quiet synth layers, the verses open with busy drum loops and repetitive bass with manipulated vocals. These are broken up by layers of high-pitched vocals backed by piano between the first two verses, which later become the prominent features of the chorus, though augmented by a big, simple beat. The song then cuts to a quiet buildup reminiscent of dynamic bridges in songs like "Mr. Self Destruct" and "With Teeth," led by a bassline of 8th notes, atmosphere layers, distant vocals and guitar. They explode into a return to the chorus beat, deep bass and rhinocerous-esque 'swarm' guitar soloing, all of which end the song suddenly and lead directly into "While I'm Still Here."
Lyrics
Split Split into Something else Shed Your precious skin Save yourself Bleed Have to purge What you were Yes Yes of course This is going to hurt Nature is violent The very nature of this is violence No no no no no that was someone else No no no no no no no that wasn't me It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart I don't believe you can even remember which one you are It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart Thrive Just become Your disease Leave Them behind You are free Take What you want What you deserve Yes Yes of course This is going to hurt It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart I don't believe you can even remember who you are It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart I just don't know anymore I just don't know
In the final recording, the line in the second chorus is changed to:
I don't believe you can even remember which one you are
