When I wrote Speechless I started as always, with the chorus - I feed off it - Everything should tie into the chorus. It's the most repeated thing in a song I am always pushing myself to be a better writer. I feel I have many years and even more songs before I am constantly evolving with the band. When I wrote the chorus I looked at it and thought.. Who would say this? What kind of individual would say this? It's not one it's two, the chorus is a two way conversation. After I figured that portion out I started writing about three different scenarios. Three different people and how they would feel if they could talk to God. What would they say angry confused spiteful or ashamed.

Everyone has that side to them that is shameful: the faggot, the whore, the drunk - we are all theses things. It's whether or not we give in to them. We are all capable of committing any and all these atrocities. It is our ignorance and pride that keep us from admitting to ourselves...

Speechless is that moment in life that we will all have. We have to face what or who we are the moment in which we not only have to admit to ourselves but one another that we are shameful, we are not pure, we are not full or life every second is a second closer to death no moment is given to us or promised. We never know when we will die or life just because we breathe now does not mean we have life it means one less breath what is life what is being human that's what Speechless is the day you find out what life is, what we are; it will leave us all Speechless. The undeniable truth of life is something we have a hard time believing. A hard time to accept the one thing the one person we hate and live our lives without is the thing or person that will answer every question so that when its all said and all done we will have nothing to say and live Speechless in peace.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album - right here!
