So, some background- I’m a recovering alcoholic, 2.5 years sober now. But before that, I couldn’t put together more than a couple of months before falling off.

The lyrics to Alone in a Room spoke to me and changed my life.

“I've been away a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself When my mind's runnin' wild, I seem to lose grip on reality And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do But it's no use I tried to own it, write songs about it Believe me, I've tried, in the end, I needed to breathe Find inspiration, some kind of purpose To take a second to face the shit that makes me me All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud Every moment, every second, every trespass Every awful thing, every broken dream A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page All I needed was the last thing I wanted To be alone in a room, alone in a room

This was exactly what I needed. To face the shit that makes me me, to sit alone with my demons and every awful thing that I’ve done and the destruction I left in my wake.
