I wrote this song in September of 2007.  I felt like I was supposed to fast and about a little over a week into the fast got pieces of this song… the first two verses and refrain.  The days that followed put me into a hopeless state.  It was the first time I ever felt hopeless in my life and it wasn’t just about a few things, it seemed to be about everything.  It was a super dark place and all I could keep thinking about was how I needed to keep myself separate from my feelings in the moment and just “make it through September”.  That’s what the song was telling me… so that is what I would do…
