| we've
burned your dividing lines so you'll have to find new
ways to shine. i've seen nights like this and still was
blind. so we'll continue to push it through because days
like these place the burden on you /we've held this light
with outstretched hands so you'll let it go and
understand. why draw lines that speak no truth when all
we need is to see it through. we'll spill this truth all
over you so you can no longer claim callused youth. it's
in my heart, it's in my hands/ we've burnt our hands but
we never learn, so you'll so you'll never believe me and
you will heal burned. i'll continue pouring out the truth
in a quick succession, questions lie in all of the
lessons. why turn your back when things grow cold when
all you know is all your told. so i'll burn my truth
through to you so you'll never have to feel like i do,
it's in my heart it's in my hands to continue this line
so you'll fear no darkness and find new ways to shine. |

| One of the most amazing things
about writing songs is seeing how they affect people.
This is one of my main reasons for forming rise above,
among forming a closer bond with my friends,
meet new people and share things with them so I can feel
that I can give something back to the people who have
given so much to me. This song was written about a rather
confused time where I studied and thought about religion
and death. At this time I had given up on some things
that I really cared about and to see the reaction that
these clumsy words brought about had brought tears to my
eyes. Sammy and I have talked on great lengths about
religion and life and he is the only person to share my
views and also draw parallels which I had not seen. (we
both don't believe in organized religion and are fascinated by philosophy). In the book The Great Gatsby,
by F. Scott Fitzgerald he states "What little I have accomplished has been by the most laborious and uphill
work, and I wish now I'd never relax or looked back"
and at the end "I have found my line-from now on
this comes first. This is my immediate duty-without this
I am nothing." And this has given me faith. -Eli. |
