Story Behind the Song
This song talks about the seperation and agonization that many times we feel because of ourselves and the failures that we make. We strive to be something more than we are, and yet we can't. So whats the answer? Thats whats at the heart of true wisdom, is understanding that it is folly to try and find success on your own. The song was wrote with me (Shane) coming up with the words, and ahnding it to a friend (Todd Bush) to see what we could do. Joining with Collectively BOB, we twisted it a bit, and here ya go! This is our favorite and probably our most hard hitting song thus far! The recording was kinda shaky, but this is the best I have so far! If you notic the first three lines of the song (vocals) are muted, but I included the lyrics so you can figure it out!!
Lyrics
I get so close, but I feel so far!
Striving harder it seems,
I plunge farther from where you are!
I fail too much from, where I want to be!
Living, learning, crying,
I fall down upon my knees.
Here I stand, guilty in you face.
Asking for forgiveness,
seeking redemption for my own ways!!
Chours:
Folly! Folly! Why can't I believe?
You're calling, calling out to me!
Holy, Holy! Sepereate me please!
Solely! Solely, yours! I cry!!
Looking for perfection,
I fall down this great expanse!
But, drawn to your arms,
you break my crushing advance!
Destroying character, outright sanctity,
I cry out even harder, escaping this disease!
