I write the lyrics based on what is going on in my life - I'm not going to write about the old hair metal stuff, like castles and stuff.

I think the fakest thing in the world is to judge someone on how they look.

For a moment you forget how much the loss hurts. Then you remember and it buries you.

I used to feel like I was drowning. So I stopped trying to swim.

Everything I loved became everything I've lost.

Every girl is beautiful, it's society that's ugly.

You can be a nice guy that wants to kill himself.

I don't think anyone really knows the purpose of their existence.

Procrastination is definitely not your friend of your God's given destiny. It is nothing but a dream stealer.

I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla.

In a military operation, the command and control elements are a legitimate target.
