Ecstatic Wave is a predominantly acoustic band that decided to record a few of their more popular songs to put on "Experiences" which is an album that's still i
In 2008, Shane and April were introduced to one another and found that although they came from very different musical back grounds, they both shared the same passion for music. April had been writing lyrics/poems about life experiences since age 14, and was just learning to play guitar, while Shane was a music major in college and had previously played drums in several bands including "Quihi Triple Threat.". In the beginning, the ultimate goal for Ecstatic Wave was for Shane to play drums and for April to play rhythm guitar. Of course, that was with the expectation of the duo finding a lead guitarist and bassist, and possibly a keyboardist. As time went on and other band additions flaked out, Shane adapted more to the lead guitar role in the band to fill in the gaps. The two then started playing shows on two electric guitars with no bassist or drummer in hopes that more promising members would come along soon. However, even with the two distorted electric guitars, they were no match for the hardcore bands that they were booked with. In early 2010, Ecstatic Wave decided that it would be best to switch over to playing acoustic guitars until they found a drummer and bassist. However, after playing a few acoustic shows, they experienced some of their best reactions yet, and decided to take their music in that direction.

Story behind the song
This song was written by the lead singer about her brother-in-law who was indeed a criminal and an overall shady two faced character.
Lyrics
I hope your conscience can bear this weight Because it’s more than most could take Have no guilt and take what you will It’s obvious you have no shame, no shame Watch everyone else as they fall to the ground All because of what you have done It seems that you had everything figured out And that you don’t care if you lose everyone You’re just a criminal Taking everyone for a fool Sit tight it will all come back to you You’re just another fake You sit in church and pretend to pray In your screwed up head are you convinced it’s the truth That it’s the truth And it seems your work will never be complete You’re never satisfied with what you have received Even though you never had to try, without lifting a finger You’ve managed to get everything for free You’re just a criminal Taking everyone for a fool Sit tight it will all come back to you You’re just another fake You sit in church and pretend to pray In your screwed up head are you convinced it’s the truth That it’s the truth And it goes on and on And you swear that everyone else is wrong Everyone else is wrong But when you talk to God Do you think that he is not aware of of what you have done? Of what you have done
