===Various Methods Of Escape===
This is the only known version. It begins with its bassline and some atmosphere layering, soon joined by a beat which also refines the bassline into muted chunks. Distant and manipulated vocals sing the verses below these, while prominent guitar and louder vocals with many high notes create the choruses. They also feature backing vocal harmony layering reminiscent of "[[Every Day Is Exactly The Same (song)|Every Day is Exactly the Same]]." Its second chorus suddenly gives way to a quiet bridge of bass and piano with muted percussion layers, building with distant and whispering vocals. These usher in a return to the chorus but with 'swarm' guitar layers and a more realistic-sounding, tom-led drum beat. After two repetitions of the chorus, the instrumentation ends, allowing the vocal echoes to fade away alone.

==Lyrics==
Hallucinate in high fidelity
Little pieces of a plan
Construction of the highest quality
Built from my own hand
A line of lyric looping in my head
Nobody listening
I guess it really doesn't matter anymore
I guess it doesn't mean a thing

I've got to let it go
I've got to get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away

An effigy so wondrous to behold
A statement so profound
A place to bury every thing I did
And burn it to the ground
The fire illuminates our final scene
The past repeats itself
I can not tell the difference anymore
I can not trust myself

I've got to let it go
I've got to get straight
Why'd you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
