This song was written about the same time as the other two (circa 2002). It was about the same girl as "Anger and Acrimony." I guess, she was my first muse. This song is about trying to search myself for ONE good reason to do what I was doing. I was terrified at what could happen. And when I looked past the fear, I found one thousand of them. Originally, the number 1000 came from the conversation that sparked this song. As we were lying under the stars on a playground, she asked me, "how many stars do you think we can see?" To which I replied, "Exactly a thousand."
One Thousand Reasons
Glistening when nothing will
The hope that breaks through the mystery
What can happen? Only to diminish.
Accomplishments show naught.
The winding puzzle of the ever glory
Asphyxiate on the site.
Choke the air in awe.
Find an outlet, exploit it.
Still the light and impede the darkness
Sharpen your eyes with the impending sadness
One thousand reasons to lie down
One thousand reasons to let go
