This is a song about trying to stop something that is potentially damaging to you, drugs, a relationship, alcohol, whatever the name of your poison, and failing. It's about that feeling of trying so hard, and then for whatever reason, failing.
Good Tune, Very melodic, Strong lyrics, meaningful stuff, Love, Addiction, strong dislike, ADD, Good times, Etc.
Hello, my name is Ron Rentz and currently I am "A Quality of Mercy." I hope to be welcoming new members to the band soon, but until they arrive it's just me. I write all the music and lyrics for the songs listed here on the site. I play rhythm guitar but mainly I do vocals. I create the music for my songs on a virtual music site, then send it to a friend of mine, Robert Lee Hall, c/o Trebor Labs Studio in Lancaster, KY. who produces all of my music, and will often add lead guitar or various other instruments. He is an extremely talented producer, and I'm thankful that he is comfortable working with me. My day job is being an RN, specialty emergency medicine. I believe my greatest strength is my lyric writing ability. It's old school, but some of my favorite mentors/ musicians provided me with a great education, i.e: Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Brian Wilson, Bryan Ferry, David Byrne, etc. I hope you'll take the time to listen to my music and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by...

Story behind the song
I had been in recovery for about 6 months, doing great, then my wife decided to have a birthday party for me, and I relapsed and lost my sobriety. I was so proud of what I'd done up to that point, the only way I could describe the feeling, was "Falling From Grace." If you've been someplace similar, you'll relate, if not you'll still dig this song, from the heart totally
Lyrics
Falling From Grace By: Ron Rentz Verse 1 I can’t stand all of the people, yet I can’t seem to stand on my own I can’t stand being around them, yet I can’t stand it when I’m alone I can’t stand being a loser, yet I can’t stand when I’m in first place The truth is I can’t stand this feeling of falling from grace I keep falling from grace Verse 2 I can’t stand all of the lying, yet I can’t stand all of the truth I can’t stand that I’m getting older, yet I can’t stand the pitfalls of youth I can’t stand my imperfections, all those things that I can’t seem to face The truth is I can’t stand these feelings, falling from grace I keep falling from grace Chorus I had every chance to be something, I guess nothing’s what I chose to be Everyday I keep wondering one thing, did I chose this life, or did this life choose me? I know I made a conscious decision, but my ancestors gave me the keys Never knowing the door I had opened would free the disease. Won’t you help me please Verse 3 I can’t stand knowing I hurt you, yet I can’t seem to tell you I’ve lied I can’t stand being way out there, yet I can’t stand it on the inside I can’t stand living without you, yet I can’t stand to live in this place The truth is I can’t stand this feeling, falling from grace I keep falling from grace Chorus I had every chance to be something, I guess nothing’s what I chose to be Everyday I keep wondering one thing, “Did I choose this life, or did this life choose me?” I know I made a conscious decision, but my ancestors gave me the keys Never knowing the doors I had opened would free the disease, can you help me please? Verse 4 I can’t stand the flood of my own tears, yet I drown in a sea of self doubt It’s me that got myself lost here, so it’s me that must find my way out I can’t stand here doing nothing, yet I can’t seem to get in the race The truth is I hate this feeling of falling from grace… I keep falling from Grace a 2010
