And through that we grow and become deeper human beings Picture Quote #1

The irony is that I don’t think we took a step backwards to make ‘Group Therapy’. I think we took a step forward because it’s a lot more complicated to make that kind of album.

It just happens. Something in me changed in that one tell-tale moment. And for some strange reason, I knew there wasn’t a way of going back Picture Quote #1

When it’s hardest to pray are usually the times I need to pray the hardest. Not sure if that’s irony or common sense Picture Quote #1
