    Story Behind the Song
    Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Luke Harper at Two Fish Studios in January and February of 2003. Produced by Luke Harper and The Common Place.

    Lyrics
    try to live as though you didn't know of pain
    turn towards the sun and believe you're alive
    be a lover that burns on until morning
    light a fire and relax in its red blaze

    do the barstools have stories where you come from?
    and does Jesus Christ live in the lake?
    does the sky ever melt into evening?
    do you dream deep in saccharine nights?

    try to see as though you were not taught difference
    see the way that we can break while we try to build
    watch the fire and see it for the flaming
    see the colors and the lies that they can guild

    kill their hell and their smug indignation
    can we rightfully sin while we think?
    and we'll stand where the blood runs like water
    shed the tradition that holds that we drink

    because every child is another one of us
    because lonely ones are not always saved
    though we shudder with hatred and failure and lust
    we're not alone

    pray believe we can see in the dark
    we're not alone
    we will know if we open our eyes

    can we stop looking up for salvation?
    will we reach out for what we can save?
    lovers and children and heroes and mortals
    so much more than the lies that remain

    watch the stars stand silent while we beg for guidance
    see the broken bleed while the rest of us walk on
    and the other struggle with being exceptions
    don't walk alone
