The birth of Christ. The greatest story told.

This lyric is about my struggles with ADHD. It's something I've had since I was diagnosed at 3 years old. I've been on and off medication for it both legally and with cocaine if you want to call that medication, illegally. ADHD is very challenging to live with. It affects your everyday life, you're interpersonal relationships, and your ability to focus, and think before you act. But there's so many good things about being ADHD. Most people with ADHD are very creative and can be very successful, such as Einstein. If you have the ability to hyperfocus on positive things instead of negative things you could turn your ADHD into an asset. For me it's been bittersweet, as I've used my ADHD to be successful, but also to have it play a part in my downfall. I hope you like this lyric.

This is a lyric about the good and the bad side of love. It's a word that's thrown around so loosely. I love this I love that I love you, blah blah blah. Love can be wonderful, but love can also be treacherous. It can keep you apart and bring you together. Just like in a marriage you may love your wife but you're not in love with her, and you fall in love with someone else. Love can be an arrow through the heart. But we all need love to survive, and it begins and ends with love, I believe that strongly.

Basically a coming of age story. At some point, you're the only one who can help yourself.

I'm not really sure what this is about, that's for you to decide. Something dark and theatrical, it leaves a lot to the imagination.
