"I hurt a great deal of people when I was going through the worst of my depression, I was a wreck, and as in all wrecks there is generally collateral damage. I guess this is a sort of apology to all the people that were caught up in the wake of it. It took a really selfish act that landed me in hospital for me to wake up to myself, and consequently I sought help and started to work through my issues, but it doesn't need to come to that. I'm really thankful to all the friends who banded together around me and helped me through my troubles, and every day I'm around more is testament to their help, so hopefully this song can let them know how much it means to me. I suppose it's also a promise not to head down that path again, and if I am feeling that way a promise to reach out instead of heading back into my own head... Pretty tough to write this explanation actually, it's not a comfortable topic."






I'll never know what led me down that path,
what made me lose my grasp (what made me lose my grasp).
But now the years have passed and I know in my heart,
no matter where I am. I won't follow that path.
There are things that I've said there are people I've hurt,
there are moments in time when I've been down in the dirt
and I know that it's hard to let go of our pasts
but in each one of us there is hope for fresh starts.

So if I hurt you, if I let you down just remember we were close, we were down.
I found life, I found this and it's all of your strength that got me through it.

Just know that I know you went through the same shit,
even if you were too fucking proud to admit.
So brothers in arms, let's march home towards calm,
towards oceans and shorelines with open arms.
