This song was written in 2008 and has been re-written and recorded countless times since then. Officially released on October 31st, 2014; this is the culmination of endless revisions and never ending rewrites. I'm very excited to release this complete version to everyone. The track is about religion and how unnecessary I feel it is. If you truly want to achieve your goals, to see your dreams come true, to do good in the world, you need to believe in yourself. Go out there and do something great, because you have it within you.
-Tommy Evans
lyrics
I'm supposed to live for him, because he died for me? I will live my life guilt free. I have a veracious appetite to simply disagree. All of my mistakes are my own fault. I'm responsible for my actions, because only sheep need a god damn Shepard. I do my own will with or without him. You're responsible for your outcome. Knees covered in blood from the dead rise bed side. Every time you open your mouth, I laugh out loud like LOL. What good is free will if you have none? Let go of the book and fucking listen to yourself. You don't need the word of God to show you how to live. You don't need the word of God to save you from a hell.
