  • Joe from St. Marys, PaA deeply moving song that could be about a soldier in war, someone dealing with an addiction, or any anymore with a war raging inside of them. "What if what you do to survive
    Kills the things you love". This says it all. People dealing with their demons with consequences they cannot control.
  • Johnny from Los Angeles, CaI loved when he sung it at the grammys
