Song Description
"Conviction" is a song about the state of the world and how scary it is to be alive right now. We're living in a time where people don't listen to reason. There's not a lot besides hate and judgement among people. We need to open our minds and love each other.

Lyrics
Conviction. You speak like you know everything without question
But really you don't make much sense at all
You won't find your truths standing that tall
You can't listen with conviction
Conviction. A state of mind, that's colorblind
A condition of clouded sight and closed-off mind know-it-all's
If you've built up your walls
You might have conviction
Elevation, it lifts you up above anyone's education
You can't be wrong 'cause you've felt this way for so long
Your feelings are too strong
Short-sighted by affliction
Your constriction's your conviction
It's Conviction. A state mind, that's colorblind
A condition of clouded sight and closed-off mind know-it-all's
If you've built up your walls
You might have conviction
When you turn your eyes from undisguised violence
You let men die for nothing more than convenience
You might have conviction
Don't eat their lies, don't make your mind up from fiction
All it does is further divide us all
And together we stand tall
And we can love with conviction
Conviction. A state mind, that's colorblind
A condition of clouded sight and closed-off mind know-it-all's
Don't build up your walls
Don't argue with conviction
