In My Work And What I Do,

It Has Been Hard For Me To Find It, But I Have Found Love.

I Remember Watching The Mascara Tears Flood The Ivories And I Thought, "it's Ok To Be Sad." I've Been Trained To Love My Darkness.

I'm Able To Laugh Now, Because I've Gone Through A Lot Of Mental And Physical Therapy To Heal Over The Years, My Music's Been Wonderful For Me. But I Was A Shell Of My Former Self At One Point. I Was Not Myself. To Be Fair, I Was About 19, So ... I Went To Catholic School And All This Crazy Stuff Happened, And I Was Going, 'oh, Is This Just The Way Adults Are?' I Was Very Naive.

I Went Out Into The Woods For A Few Days. I Just Disconnected From Everything And Allowed Myself To Be Free And Be Human. Because, That's What Makes You Really Good, If You Can Be Vulnerable, If You Can Be Vulnerable On Stage.

I Have Been Addicted To It, And It's Ultimately Related To Anxiety Coping, And It's A Form Of Self-medication, And I Was Smoking Up To 15 To 20 Marijuana Cigarettes A Day With No Tobacco.
