I want to thank all the fans for their support, all the people I bothered with early demos of this track, in particular Iōhannēs. I truly, truly can't thank you enough for your support and inspiration from your own amazing music. I also want to greatly thank Kakophonix for bringing some life into this song with his cello playing. Be sure to check out his band Hvile I Kaos.

This song is dedicated to all noncisgender and gender nonconforming people - may we live the lives we aspire without fear, may we be able to love and be loved, and may we allow ourselves to see our own beauty. May we be free: ΑΝΑΣΤΗΣΟΜΕΘΑ
