Verse 1

This song was one of the tracks that had some arrangement changes between the demo versions and the version that ended up on Mindsize. It was for the better, I think. In retrospect,

Bb5

this is one of my least favorite songs from Mindsize. It's not that it's a bad song, per se, but it just wasn't a strong track. If you read through the lyrics, you'll also notice that the word 'Mindsize' was derived from this song.

Verse 2

Bb5

Bb5

real - very tangible. Our physical and spiritual escape from these addictions needs to start with the Lord... "Please call His name..."
