	This song talks about the struggle we face inside when we're torn between right and wrong. It was recorded and co-produced by Mic Cox (Zao). We've got screaming, rapping, and a Britney Spears part all in one song. Imagine that!

	Story Behind the Song This song is one of our more personal songs, and was written to show my frustration with myself and always falling back into sin. I know what's right and what I should do, but the temptation is so strong that I don't know if I can take it anymore. At that point, where you're about to break and make the decision, is where I am in this chorus. It's a call to live pure lives before God; however, this is only possible with His help. No, I don't always do the right thing, but I am continually asking God to strengthen me to make the right choice. I take comfort in knowing that He will always forgive me when I ask him to. Now for a few little facts you may or may not care about...It was written over a year ago (although the chorus was written even before that), so I forget exactly where I was when the words were written, but I think I was probably in my room. If I remember right, the song was written in about a month and recorded in about 6 hours at Mic Cox's studio. Mic Cox was the former bass player for Zao, just in case you thought the name sounded familiar. I don't really remember how many takes it took us to record it, but it was a good experience. The studio was really ghetto, too, so the recording quality isn't that great. Look forward to the totally new recording of the song on our debut CD that will be released July 12. Lyrics As I'm laying in my bed at night, the shadows flicker on my wall. The want to try to kill; they want to make me fall. They get into my head as I'm laying in my bed, Bringing back these feelings of lust I'm trying to shed. Oh no, I think they're getting to me; I can't give in 'Cause I just don't want to go back to where I've been. Ah! They're invading my mind. No! No more darkness of this kind. (God) What's wrong seems right at this time of night. (Help) What's right seems wrong; I can't lose the fight. (Me) I can't see any consequences, (Flee) But I'm becoming numb to senses. (From) The here and now is what I'm living for. (Temp-) Benefits now, but God's got more in store. (Ta-) I think about it; it doesn't seem wrong, (Tion) But I've got this feeling, and it's real strong. Because I'm torn between what's right and what is wrong. It's so hard. I'm torn between what's right and what is wrong. I can't sleep. I'm torn. I am torn; well, I was born into this world of thorns. Got trapped in the patch the day I was born. They rip me to pieces like Reese's. I'm feeling like Swiss cheeses. This struggle is hard; I feel like giving up Cause it's not between Sprite or just a 7-Up. No, this struggle is much harder than that, And I think I'm getting weaker at my combat. (God) Seems like my mind's become blurry, (De-) And clear words are now slurry. (Li-) These shadows are getting to me. (Ver) I can't give in to what I see. (Me) Go away! Just leave me alone! (From) Stop torturing me; Get out of my zone. (E-) I've tried to get this thorn out of me. (Vil) That's hard when girls keep pushing it deep. Oops, I... No, no, no, we're not going to go there, yo! Your morals must be low 'cause look how much you show. You're right that you're not that innocent; I just sent An e-mail to your inbox; let me explain just what I meant. Guys think you're a hottie, but respect your body. Put a shirt on girl, so this biz isn't shoddy. Yo Christy! Why don't you stay in your bottle Or come out with more than just a bra on? And this isn't just to the queens of pop. It's to all the girls who shop their top. Chorus What's with this sin? I can't give in.
