“Yesterday she was just a little girl pretending she was queen. She didn't know it would change her world, she didn't know what it would mean. What mask will you wear today? And the one with the pretty smile? For you, it's just another day in a life you haven't lived in a long time. Everyone knows your name, but they don't know who you are.

In 2002, Lifehouse released Stanley Climbfall, and in 2005, they released Lifehouse. By this time, the membership had changed greatly and Wade was the only founding member who remained.
