So I Thought

I was in the middle of Graphite_002, and this song came up in my iTunes playlist... and this image popped into my head. So I stopped what I was doing and drew it, before I lost it.

Here's the lyrics to the song it's based on.. "So I Thought" by Flyleaf.

All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories
Show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because
so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought

A year goes by
And I can't talk about it

On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume
Myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times

A year goes by
And I can't talk about it

The times weren't right
And I couldn't talk about it

Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between

And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it

Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between

And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream

And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between


It's... a bit difficult to explain, but I think the image speaks for itself. It's better if you've heard the song, I suppose - it has so much atmosphere and emotion in it, so I tried my best to capture that in an image. The song always has me choking up when it hits the final chorus.

I suppose you could consider this a "sequel" of sorts to Hold On to Jesus and Thy Word... heavy atmosphere, dim lights, all that sort of thing.

I know it's a bit rough and poorly drawn, but bear with me... I don't draw the female form very often... or detailed hair. Gotta start somewhere.
