[Verse 1: Landon Tewers]
I sold my soul for a conscious mind
Living on the other side of life
I just keep falling back faster and faster
The hands from below keep on pulling me under
I am living in between
[Chorus: Landon Tewers]
Can't seem to shut my brain off
I haven't slept, I keep waiting on a sign
I won't live a lie to give meaning to my life
I don't feel anything now
My hope and my faith let me down
[Refrain: Landon Tewers]
I will never be one of those creatures that live so mundane
[Verse 2: Landon Tewers]
To the ones who have never opened their minds past what they've been shown
To every false prophet who claims an answer to what they cannot show
Reality is coming quicker than you know
[Refrain: Landon Tewers]
Could you watch your children burn?
Yeah, you think you could, think you could yeah?
I don't think you could, no I don't think you could
And that's the difference between you and him
[Chorus: Landon Tewers]
Can't seem to shut my brain off
I haven't slept, I keep waiting on a sign
I won't live a lie to give meaning to my life
I don't feel anything now
My hope and my faith let me down, let me down, let me down

“This song is about my struggle with my beliefs and disbeliefs. It can be the most frustrating thing in the world trying to sift through the bullshit and find something real. My faith always let me down. I cried out to a god a thousand times and never felt anything.”
