eclectic and great and they will<br />

ask, ‘What does this mean’ I<br />

think that sometimes very creative<br />

and artistic people use that as an<br />

excuse for not being able to<br />

express themselves properly.<br />

I just think you can’t run from the<br />

truth. As much as you want to<br />

run – and as much as you want to<br />

– you can’t run. One of the things<br />

I used to tell my dad is, ‘I’m not<br />

going to be a missionary. No way<br />

I’m going to some Third World<br />

country. No way.’ Okay God, did<br />

you hear that I’m not going to be<br />

a missionary. And I think that I<br />

was running. I think that I’m still<br />

running, to some degree. But the<br />

ironic thing is that I’m running and<br />

that I ran right into Him. And I’m<br />

like doing the same thing that I’d<br />

We the meek are all in one<br />

I cry out to God<br />

Seeking only his decision<br />

Gabriel stands and confirms<br />

I've created my own prison<br />

be doing – I mean, I’ve affected so<br />

many people by accident just like I<br />

was a minister with the message<br />

of salvation in My Own Prison. I<br />

didn’t even think about it until after<br />

it was done. And how many people<br />

who have never even stepped in<br />

a church hear My Own Prison<br />

every day.<br />

I asked God for this but then I<br />

didn’t want it any more. And I<br />

asked God – you know, I would<br />

ask God for things when I was<br />

young – I would be like, ‘God give<br />

me the wisdom of King Solomon<br />

and give me the spiritual strength<br />

of Samson.’ I would ask Him for<br />

all of these things. I would be like<br />

please, help me understand and<br />

use me and all this stuff. And then,<br />

all of a sudden I didn’t want it any<br />

more but He gave it to me anyway.<br />

And He’s like, well, if I gave you all<br />

of this stuff, you’re going to use it,<br />

whether you want to or not. I think<br />

that’s basically how it’s developed.<br />

You know my songs on this album<br />

were – there was a lot of, listen<br />

man, I know what’s right. I know<br />

what I’m supposed to feel is right.<br />

I’ve been told there’s still something<br />

missing.<br />

I didn’t know we were going to be<br />

on the radio or I didn’t know that<br />

we were going to sell 3 million<br />

records and I was going to be<br />

doing interviews like this. We<br />

didn’t know. I wrote them for me.<br />

The only answer for the success is<br />

the message. I think there’s a message<br />

in there that needs to get out<br />

and that God wanted to get out.<br />

doug: It seems to me that you<br />

guys are real nice guys that don’t<br />

have some big machine behind<br />

you creating an image and pushing<br />

the thing.<br />

Scott: What you see is what you<br />

get. It wasn’t intentional. That’s<br />

how we wanted it to be. We just<br />

wanted people to say, ‘This is<br />

Creed, this is Scott, this is Brian,<br />

1<br />

1<br />

this is Mark.’ It’s not like I wake up<br />

every day and put on my rock star<br />

outfit. We get up and what you see<br />

is what you get. It’s a struggle in<br />

the sense of I want to be real and I<br />

want to be who I am, but the public<br />

doesn't want that. In essence,<br />

they don’t want me to be real.<br />
