This is about the depression and anxiety I've dealt with throughout my life. It feels as if it restrains me from doing things I know I should be able to do.

I’ve gone through some pretty dark times, as I’m sure many of us have. This song was written for my wife a way of saying - feel my pain, but don’t let go.

This song was inspired by my cousin and his daughter telling him that she was gay.

I wrote this song to try and express the importance of being who you really are as a human, what your purpose really is, why your here, and to be honest and genuine, you will feel it if you try to force something to try and define you, it won't feel right, it will be a bit off kilter, be you, and only you, don't try to put on invisible camouflage to fit in with the rest of society's rules and regulations, it may be uncomfortable at first and may get down right ugly, but in the long run you will shine bright and stand tall and be proud.

I was sitting around thinking that what if out of the blue society and the human race as a whole came under the assumption that you were somehow their new God, the new salvation, the new answer to everything somehow, and as great as that may seem it's something I personally would never ever want the responsibility of dealing with, and regardless of there being any truth or substance to that claim, I would have to decline the opportunity under false hope that I wouldn't believe in my self, I would screw everything up and make the world's situation even worse, if I were the "new God" then there would truly be "no hope".
