about

“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.”

lyrics

My father died alone in a hotel
47 years of abuse laid stiff in the bed
I'll never miss the awful human that he was
But I'll remember the lesson that I learned

It's more than a choice
It's a conviction to those I love
To have never have that call
To never feel that loss

My brother died lost in a hotel
9 months before the day that his father would
30 years of life paved for death
My coffin was nailed in his final breath

I won't be so selfish
I won't let my hurt destroy my path
to be a better person
than the examples I was shown as a boy

I commit
to be alive
I won't die for the drugs
that took your life

I will remain clean
