about

This is a song about redemption. I had that main line hanging out in my head for a long time, but it wasn't until I made it through a really low point in my life that the words and melody came together. It was one of those periods in your life where you just sort of feel like you're floating along, not actually a part of the real world. Then something occurs, pulling you back in.
Skye Carrasco supplied the violin and harmony parts. She's great. Check out her music.

lyrics

I was staring at the traffic with the sun in my eyes

The glare being my only care

Then she drove by

Shaken awake from the state I was in

Just waiting for the medication to begin

So I took the distraction

I gave my thanks

Then I carried the sandbags down riverbanks

And I’ll take my place

Among the saints

I’ll take my place among the saints

I was staring down the devil with the skies in my eyes

Tempting the emptiness

Then she flew by

Shaken awake from the state I was in

Over medicated and a little too thin

So I took the enlightenment

I gave my thanks

Strapped back on my revolvers

And removed the blanks

And I’ll take my place

Among the saints

I’ll take my place among the saints
