about

This is an OLD one. I believe I wrote this sometime in early 2011. It is about how I was dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts at that time. I had changed some lyrics in Spring of 2013 to more mature and better fitting ones. It also speaks of how God loves you and I and how we are perfect in His eyes.

lyrics

Have you ever stopped to consider
That I might not be ok?
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I’m a grave
Laid to waste by the problems I face
Used things to fill the space
Maybe one day you’ll earn my trust
But until then I’ll keep it all hush hush

Let it out
Let it out

Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall away)

When I breathe I breathe in slowly
But I always tend to cry
People think I’m so much stronger
Can’t let ‘em see my red eyes
My heart’s as fragile as a broken vase
I live the life I intend to erase
Stretched to the point of breakin’ in two
Devil’s on my shoulder sayin’ “follow through”

Let it out
Let it out

Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall away)

There’s no shame in crying
No weakness in tears
It releases all the pain
The smoke of trouble clears
You’re perfect in God’s eyes
He’ll be with you forevermore
Don’t believe what the devil say’s you are!

Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall)
Tears pour like the rain (Let ‘em fall, Let ‘em fall away)

Lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player, Ben Vasko, decided to give it another shot, this time taking his musical pursuits in a little different direction. A short time later, he began his new project with the intent of recording an ep of his own. ... more
