The demo:
The song's demo was named "Thorn".
The subject matter:
Jason said that the song is about someone who is guilty and no one is willing to
forgive for what he is blamed for and his father just feels as tho he is a thorn.
"Find me guilty when true guilt is from within"
"For I am shadows and will follow me One and the same are we"
The person accepts the fact that he's guilty, but no one cares. In the second
line he is either saying "we're both human, we all make mistakes" or "I'm just your
shadow - You are actually the one who did it..."
