And the people who say things to you about the way you look and the way you dress, they have nothing more to their lives. That's all they do, and you have something more in you.

Finally, please remember this. If you EVER need something that you can stand behind, something to help you to take on and deflect all of the hatred of this often cruel world, you will ALWAYS have Black Veil Brides.

I never advocate that you should be lonely, or come to my shows and bring me your razor blade to show me that you don't cut anymore.

Because of the kind of music that I liked, and the different way that I dressed, it was kind of a perfect storm, creating a situation where I existed on my own throughout my schooling.

Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pens

I see so many bands, that are trying really hard to write for a person that they've never met. I get the idea behind it and the idea of helping people, but I feel you help people more by exposing yourself.

I tend to have a very analytical mind, I'm constantly thinking about how things can be better or different.
