Story Behind The Song
The song is meant to be a reflection on life itself with thoughts arising under a starlit sky,
When I see beauty it makes me want to try that much harder to achieve something worthwhile.
Song Description
Throughout the song, the tempo does not change. There is a beautiful organ melody which snakes around the vocals throughout the verses. When the chorus hits the distorted guitar take over. The solo has a somewhat psychedelic effect but works well with the slow beat.

Lyrics
VERSE 1:
I sit on this porch and I feel the ocean breeze
so many stars out tonight it almost seems unreal
I got a burning desire that?s keeping me here
far away from my failure that?s eating at me
CHORUS:
Lie
don?t you even say I didn?t try
do you ever stop to wonder why
don?t you even say I didn?t try
VERSE 2:
So this is life well sometimes I?d rather be dreaming
and what you believe provides premise for ultimate meaning yeah
where do you go when the lights go out in the evening
searching for answers beyond what?s left to believe in
CHORUS:
Lie
don?t you even say I didn?t try
do you ever stop to wonder why
don?t you even say I didn?t try
