This track is tinged with some eastern influences. it started out as an angry polemic but slowly morphed into a possibly more apt mood of weary resignation.

Story behind the song
This track is tinged with some eastern influences. it started out as an angry polemic but slowly morphed into a possible more apt mood of weary resignation. A little too naive and hopeful to be on MWT, but decent enough by itself.
Lyrics
Letters July 20, 2007 Just a part of the aching night I'll play your knight in this lonely fight As you debate over who's wrong or right the shroud of death is wrapped around me tight while you sit around with family watching your reality tv do you hear the explosions here do you feel the things I fear I know I swore I would be strong and pure I believed that I could change the world But the city lights are fading now And the dream I wanted I don't want anymore I killed a boy with a gun in his hand it was so heavy he could barely stand A mother cries and she wonders why it had to be her child that died I slit my wrists a little every day but the angry demons they won't go away I've tried every poison you've handed me but the blood won't wash, it runs too deep
