So I [Eb] was in [Bb] a band called Attack Attack previously, obviously not anymore.
[F] And I joined that when I was young and it [Bb] was a lot of fun but I've always
struggled since I was probably like [Eb] 10 or 11.
I don't know, I had like a real big
struggle with [Bb] like depression, anxiety and I don't know man I just never felt
like I fit in with the right like I ever felt like I was a cool kid.
Everything you want when you're a kid you know you just want people to accept
you.
I joined Attack Attack when I was 14.
I went to my freshman year of high
school and then have been touring since.
I am 22 now.
[Eb] Don't get me wrong like it
was cool and [Bb] I definitely love music and it's something that has always like
helped me out but like dealing with anxiety and depression and stuff on the
road it was just tough like just find ways to bury it down and kind of ignore
ever dealing with it.
I don't know I had some like eating problems for a while.
It's a whole bunch of self-image problems.
Just [Eb]
never felt like I was what
[Bb] people wanted me to be.
And what
[Eb] I mean I mean we had another singer previously
they just wanted me to be [E] him.
When [Eb] you're like 16 or 17 [G] you care a lot
about what people think and [Eb] when you have thousands of people on the internet
telling you you're a fat piece of shit and that you [Bb] suck at what you do and
you're gonna ruin your band.
Hey it gets to you.
People are always like oh it's
the internet dude it doesn't matter and it's like well it does matter like to
people [G]
and it mattered to me [Bb] like I was like oh god I'm [E] ruining all these
people's lives you know I like thought I [Bb] was ruining the lives of my bandmates
because I was gonna ruin their career.
And then so obviously that manifested
itself in some poor health habits and just wasn't really eating much and like
trying to like make myself what I thought everybody wanted me to be.
[Eb] I was
I was just in a bad place man I was just like I don't know things like drinking
alone cuz I'm sad and like just like you know trying like just I would literally
just shelter off I like wouldn't come out of my house for like weeks I just
said just watch TV like and [Bb] I was just completely shot dude it's so sad and
like yeah even if depression and anxiety are like a thing that I
inherited genetically which [G] just runs in my [Bb] family it's just a reality that we
all deal with but [Gm] like even then like life doesn't [B] have to be miserable [Eb] and
you don't have to want to [Gb] kill yourself [Eb] all the time and like I talked to so
many people [Bb] and they're like so many people at shows that deal with this
stuff and it's just it breaks [Ab] my heart because I know what it [Eb] feels like and
it feels [Bb] so real it feels like the only way out is to kill yourself that's the
only way anything's gonna get better you literally think that you will be making
people's lives better like other people and it's just absolutely not true I mean
I wouldn't be where I am now obviously if I would have done what I thought I
should have I never would have written this music that I'm honestly really
proud of and like been touring with some of my best friends and like you just
have to wake up every morning [Eb] and like be like today is going to be awesome if
you wake up and go into it thinking that it's [Bb] gonna be a bad day it probably will
be but you you do have to realize that those people don't know you and even if
it is your friends and they're like saying shitty things to you they're not
your friends they're some person that's I don't know that is insecure themselves
and trying to take it out on you and like I don't know you just [N] have to
realize that you got you just got to do you just got to do your thing ignore
anybody else like who's bringing you [Bb] down get away from those people get in
an environment where you are being like lifted up by your friends and like in a
positive place like [Am] if there's a bad vibe there's a [F] reason there's a bad
vibe [Bb] you know and you just got to cut it off even it will suck it's going to be
awful it'll be terrible for [G] you know it could be a few weeks or a [Bb] month even a
year but once you've cut that part of your life out and you've moved on like
dude everything changes and it really can get better as little as people think
it can trust me it gets way better
