This song came from a dark place; wrestling with my memories of storms of life and inadequate friendships created doubts that plagued my conscious. I wrote this song originally to God; I knew I had failed to live up to the expectations that were placed on me, and I no longer wanted to with my human nature. I had the unpleasant feeling like I was contending with God. In the process of mixing the song, the meaning of the lyrics for me had changed. It became about my separation from the doubts, fears, and memories that would haunt me. They don't have any power over me; it's my choice what I choose to let my thoughts and emotions dwell on. And this song, in the end, was about taking control of those aspects of my life.
