This is for =KyraShangea's contest and =Neo-Wolf06's contest.

The artwork is inspired by the song "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace. It also represents a point in my life that I never want to return to. A lot of work was put into this piece and I tried a lot of things that I have never done before. This is the first time that I have ever really tried to make a decent planet and star field. This is my first time ever creating a nebula type scene. I guess the moral of the story is that this piece is special to me, so I hope you enjoy it too. ~Swimguy1986 had to sit by himself a lot of the time while i was ignoring him and working on this - so I hope he likes the final version too, and thank you Matt for not getting too annoyed with my obsessiveness on this one .

Here are the full lyrics, as =KyraShangea requested.

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late
