Song Description
a song about people who use religion as an excuse and a crutch for everything in life, ultimately holding them back from achieving and experiencing things; and in this song I'm trying to tell them that life is more complex than that, and that unlike with organized religion, there are "no easy answers in the real world."

Lyrics
NO EASY ANSWERS
FEAR IS A FOUR LETTER WORD
BUT IT'S WORTH THE RISK IF YOU'RE WANTING MORE
DOUBT IS JUST FALLING BACKWARD
BUT YOU CAN STILL CLEAN WHAT YOU DROP ON THE FLOOR
SOMEDAY YOU WILL WAKE UP
AND SEEK OUT THE ANSWERS YOU NEED TO HEAR
CHORUS:
YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT IN SOMETHING
BUT DON'T LET IT TAKE AWAY YOUR CONTROL
THERE'S NO EASY ANSWERS IN THE REAL WORLD
AND ONCE YOU FALL IN YOU CAN'T CLIMB OUT FROM THAT HOLE
WRONG IS SOMEWHAT SUBJECTIVE
THERE'D BE NO FORGIVENESS IF THERE WAS NO SIN
FAITH IS DARKENED BY FAILURE
BUT IT GIVES YOU THE COURAGE TO GET UP AGAIN
SOMEDAY YOU WILL FIND OUT
THERE'S MORE TO THE WORLD THAN THE ONE YOU'RE IN
REPEAT CHORUS
HOPE IS INFINITE SADNESS
IF YOU SIT ON THE FENCE AND DON'T PUSH YOURSELF DOWN
DREAMS ARE HARDER TO FOLLOW
WHEN BELIEFS KEEP YOU PLANTED ON SOLID GROUND
SOMEDAY YOU WILL FIND OUT
THERE'S MORE TO THE WORLD THAN THE ONE YOU'RE IN
REPEAT CHORUS
