	Story Behind the Song This song is about how sometimes we just flat-out make a royal crapstorm out of a situation, a relationship, or our lives in general. In the midst of it, we feel completely out of control, like the slope is so slippery and steep, we're going faster and faster towards our own destruction. Then later, after we've emerged from the wreckage, we realize that we're better off than we were before, as painful as the experience was. Lyrics Mess Written and Performed by Hollow What a mess I’ve made, broken everything Flattened anything, that comes my way Forever we change, forever the same Beneath this earth we send our hate I’m standing here waiting alone Knowing your half makes me full Painted pictures and nothing’s real Lift your smile and try to feel Chorus Broken open your spirit shines Covered down by this shadowed life Once alive I was meant to see But your death always follows me Chorus You were my eyes, you were the one You took my light and my son I’ve lived through this, without a hand United we stand Chorus Copyright 2003 by Ryan Raths and Jonny Michaels
