Background

The song was partly inspired by a quote from Saint Augustine's autobiography Confessions.[5]

Song information

The introduction is played with a distorted bass guitar. Flyleaf vocalist Lacey Mosley once commented that she was surprised at how much her voice "downshifted" during the introductions.

The demo version or the first version of the song was featured on their EP, Flyleaf. The version is longer and has more lyrics. The radio edit does not feature any screaming.

The song was featured as a playable track in the 2007 video game Rock Band and also features on the Live Free or Die Hard soundtrack.[6]
