We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me.

At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?

I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.

I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.

We Die Young is about gang violence. That was something that was happening in Seattle, something that kinda opened our eyes. It just seemed like things were getting out of hand. Incidents where kids were getting shot, and getting their tennis shoes ripped off their dead bodies. It just seems like these kids are dying at younger and younger ages and getting involved in gang activity.
