"Sunk" probably is the longest I've ever spent on a song from conception to having a completed version. I came up with the guitar riff at the beginning August 2007, and tried to write a song around it without success several times. I didn't actually come up with the finished version that I recorded for the album until June 2008.
For some reason, I was always really dead-set on this song being about a couple that has a violent confrontation near the water. In the earliest versions of this song, a man and his wife get in a fistfight while on their yacht. In the finished version, she just drowns him, and leaves his body to sink to the bottom of the ocean, but he had predicted this, and is just happy to know that, in his final fight with his wife, he was right. Fun times.
