Amazing how much emotion you can portray through your lyrics.. But at BB King I wanted to hold you and make you forget.. intense you can make so many people feel that way.. I'm sure it's heavy.. I would say awesome show, but you've been in a better place mentally at others.. So I'll say your talented and thanks for making people feel..
Oi, just want to show some apprecation from Sweden. I guess this is as private as it gets, and you probably won't read this but just wanna say that I grew up with an abusive step father and I wish I could express my frustration in lyrics and music. I love both your new and your old stuff. I'm usually a rocker or a hardcore girl, haha. I wish you the best, and I hope to see you perform some day. xo
