This song is kind of a personal song. Out of the normal metal genre.
Good, great, wonderful, spectacular, powerful, epic, new, old, good...

Story behind the song
I wanted to write a song about something that actually mattered. As you probably could tell, the rest of the songs are completely meaningless and stupid (lyric-wise). I wanted to break free from limitations.
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel it’s hopeless and nothing makes sense except when I play,
It takes away my sorrow, heals the mind, helps me find, helps me realize,
What does all this mean? Well I’ll tell you pretty quick,
It all means nothing and that’s the truth and yeah I’m fine with it,
I like who I am the way I am got no God to tell me what I am,
Or what to do to be who I am that’s just the way I am,
Don’t tell me you know what’s right,
All is just as simple as day and night,
Black and white, mean and nice,
Don’t tell me that you understand,
Lending me your helpful hand,
My kind aren’t allowed cause we are banned,
How complex is a grain of sand…
Sharpening their tongues of steel spitting words that only kill,
Nothing’s left and everything is still,
Look at what has come to pass; they killed my mind and so damn fast,
The wicked witch her spell is cast,
Crawl into my empty shell, dinnertime: I ring the bell,
Feast on my mind a dried-out well; this is what it’s like in hell,
Don’t tell me you know what’s right,
All is just as simple as day and night,
Black and white, mean and nice,
Don’t tell me that you understand,
Lending me your helpful hand,
My kind aren’t allowed cause we are banned,
How complex is a grain of sand…
Look at me I lie here still,
The demons they have had their fill,
Mail on the table I’ll pay just one last bill,
What was it that made me think,
My boat would float cause now it sinks,
Try to piece it all together but I’m all out of links,
And so I say my last goodbye,
I treasure one last simple lie
“I love you so, and you know for you I’d die”,
Don’t tell me you know what’s right,
All is just as simple as day and night,
Black and white, mean and nice,
Don’t tell me you understand,
Lending me your helpful hand,
My kind aren’t allowed cause we are banned,
How complex is a grain of sand?
