Song Synopsis
It's close to a concept song. This song was written from the standpoint of living without God. i.e. living in hell. Is hell REALLY fire, REAL torture chambers, REAL loneliness? I'm sure it's that, or close to it. BUT living without God on any level is tormenting enough, even if hell was just a dark room, sitting in it alone for eternity without hearing our conscious, the holy spirit, God's voice. Not even being able to remember what eperiencing God felt like. This song are the words of the people in that position and what they might say. That's why at the end of the song I say: "things look different when you're here / I wish I woulda told you, I swear" -Stu Dent

:: Verse1 ::
i was first taught to love - then you got a hold of me/ shot me out in fear - the dark kept me hidden/ written with anger - where focus doesn't exist/ is it the word you gave - or freedom from slaves/ made you listen - when i -- spoke my words/ kept the block on lock without showin my heat/ _ i never loved you - and you was of the same/ kept the lie alive - but didn't cry when it died/ so in vein we breathed - a breath called deceit/ what was to become - of the way we lived - no one would tell me - about the story now changed/ being blind was a calling - you'd never catch me fallin'/ -all in a days work - but overtime was a gift/ invisible bars - was broken/ so i took was was given and didn't have to respond/ left a cracked heart - at the dawn.

:: Chorus ::
things don't look the same / but this paint bush still strokes pain/ and the canvas of now's already been tainted / scenery built with lies / everything fades.

:: Verse2 ::
i won't stand for it - unfortunately you thought wrong/ rightfully so, with no fruits to show/ with the song you sung, wasn't in my caliber of notes/ so how would you've known.../ -we one in the same - and no one wins this... -game/ points are not kept. we keep names/ -so is it the fame, we define ourselves, by?/ we in cells, buying up lies, recycling/ (x)time. to get a new life, now, is it./ that soon, already. i'm ready/ pass that road -N- go to the next/ no rest is allowed, so we invest in goals/ from the 2nd glance on - never look back/ you be a pillar a salt - in a blaze of wind/ blown away with no reconcileation of what just happened, i wish i was you for once/ start asking before you step outta life, for once/ didn't know what to say - i wish you'd pray, for once/ -- things look different when you're here/ i wish i woulda told you, i swear.

:: Chorus ::
things don't look the same / but this paint bush still strokes pain/ and the canvas of now's already been tainted / scenery built with lies / everything fades.
