"There's a perspective there and it's a human being in the
crossroads, in this pinnacle, in this precarious balance of
decision making. It's really about brutal honesty and about
going to war with yourself and hopefully winning. In a sense,
it's conceptual because every song on the record has that
perspective and comes from that place of self-examination,
change, ultimately rebirth and renewal. It's about this choice
to believe, and it's an optimistic choice even though the word
'lie' is in it, it's an optimistic title because no matter
what happens we collectively as a race continue to keep moving
forward regardless of the insanity."
