    Man, I can’t stand you sometimes Jason, you don’t know me, but you can put words to my life when I’m living it and I can’t. Sometimes I just want to scream your lyrics from the top of my lungs, but I’d just be stealing them from you. Maybe part of life is realizing your unique and special existence is not so unique or special after all, but the special part is when you find you’re not alone. Castles made of sand.....beautiful but fragile. Damn you

    Just discovered this today, what a fantastic songwriter, how does he paraphrase my relationship so well, “you won’t sleep til dawn if it don’t rain... sounds so funny when you say my name...” he speaks so clearly about living with and amid addiction. Amazing song.
