FACTS
Cited as a personal favorite by Kip, this song appeared as an album track on Days Of Abandon. It appears to have had a rather short time in the live repertoire, potentially retired before the Days Of Abandon tour continued into 2015.

 Written and demoed on a day when work was ongoing on the ill-fated "I Will Love You Perfectly." After a day of reworking to the aforementioned song to little satisfaction, Kip wrote "Masokissed" quickly. The new song came together so quickly and easily that the old one was discarded.

QUOTES
Kip to Under the Radar, 2014: I think on our records there's always a lot of wordplay. Like on "Masokissed." "A constant aversion to forgo perversion." It's a very serious song and very heartfelt and sad. But there's something funny about that lyrical construct to me, that doesn't impact the song, which is one of my favorites on the album. Stuff like that, there are these little hidden gems of humor or shout-outs.
