This lyric is about to cry for help. I'm calling out for God to help me again. I'm hoping that he hasn't given up on me, but he doesn't hate me by now. I've asked for help so many times, and he's never let me down, but will this be the time he doesn't answer my call. I think God will always be there for you if you ask him, but he'll also only give you so much rope to hang yourself. Once he helps you it's up to you to stay on the right track.

This lyric is written about a saying that my grandfather used to tell me. It's called money money. He used to say money money shit to the dummy, which pretty much meant don't waste it don't be a fool with it. Throughout my life I've never been too good at saving money even when I've been sober. Needless to say when I was using drugs and alcohol there was no such thing as saving money for a rainy day. I didn't save anything except money to get high. I might have paid some of my bills, but a lot of times I didn't. But what is money? It's an inanimate object, it's just paper that's printed out by a machine. Yeah without it the world doesn't work. Money is needed for just about everything that you can think of. And it's really a shame what money is done the people of the world. So few have enough, and the ones that do never have enough. Money is the root of all evil.

This lyric is called life, it's basically talking about how we really don't appreciate what life encompasses. Most of us take it for granted, and then when it's too late then your time is almost up, you wish you had more time to do the things you wanted to do. We only get one life that I know of, even though I do believe in life after death, and that may be something I write about in another lyric, but nonetheless that's the way it is. There's so many things that I've done in my life that I wish I could take back but I can't. There's so many times when I thought I'd have another chance and I did it. Today, life is very precious to me, and I enjoy every moment of it no matter what my struggles might be. There's always going to be happiness and there's always going to be sadness it's always going to be easy street and there's always going to be struggle Street. Make the best of it.

Cleric is about how I felt when I was doing drugs. I felt like there was no one that I could talk to, and even if the room was full of people I felt all alone. It didn't it never mattered how loud I screamed, or cried, or laughed, or moaned, it never mattered cuz nobody was there even if there was somebody there I was alone in my own body, I had no heart had no soul I was just a blob of flesh existing in each moment as a drug addict. It's the worst feeling I've ever had in my life, and I'll never go there again.

This song is about a childhood friendship, or romance, and how it can end quickly and painful for the both of us if you're not telling the truth about yourselves
