These songs are about wounds from my past and some fresh wounds I’m hoping to leave in the past. I tried to be as open and honest as I was able to in hopes that anyone listening can identify with how I felt in these moments. Some of these songs involve wounds from my childhood that my family experienced with me, including domestic violence. The cracked wall symbolizes the wounds from those times and the actual broken walls caused by the violence. The picture is of my mother in the 90s before it all unraveled. She did so much to keep me safe and conceal the wounds. She was probably the most affected by it all.
