“The lyrics are extremely blunt and self-explanatory in this track. I have never been so open and vulnerable in a song. I started writing this in the middle of a state park after visiting an area near where my brother used to live when I was young. I had to stop and write these words down because it all flooded into me. I have been sober since birth, and this song is my promise to remain that way until the day I die. Addiction, violence, abuse and dysfunction was a major part of my family life growing up and I refuse to ever give in to it. The deaths I mention are real, and the commitment I give is sincere. I never really understood why I was the odd person at parties as a teenager who refused to drink, but as I have gotten older, I have some understanding of it. I lived through what happens when you give addiction an open door to permeate. It damages those around you, and I won’t let that happen to those around me. I will remain clean.”
