"This one was another demo that Mark had. I think it was the first thing that I heard of all the demos he submitted. As an American, I’d never heard the phrase ‘the scales fell from my eyes’, but I was watching UK television years ago and someone said it. I came to understand it’s like once you realize the reality of the situation, and I thought that would be interesting to explore in a song. It’s kind of similar to ‘ What Lies Within’ in that something can be portrayed a certain way, but the reality is much darker."
