"One afternoon we decided to break into an insane asylum built in the '50s with crowbars," vocalist Chris Linkovich comments. "A few days later we were shooting the video—my roommate dressed in drag and wearing a bag over his head. I almost died pulling the light fixture out of the ceiling during the mosh part. All in all, I think we created a visual that coincides pretty well with the song."
