You know, back in the day when we’d put songs out I’d write these big long things, spill my guts out all over the timeline… it was all “this is just the beginning”, the power of God is with us, the world and angels are watching. We’re writing the right songs. We’re a brand not a band. It was all so romantic.

Then life bludgeoned my head for so long, I couldn’t even make out the shape of that guy. His words were so cringe. So naive. Everyone knew it too, they knew it all along. There was never wisdom. Everything you say is contrived. God never had anything to do with it. All the supporters left. Those lovers guys are on Kimmel tonight, you went the wrong way. Who are you to suggest you’re special? That’s so pretentious. You’re manipulative. There’s no X factor anymore. The next generation took over. Oh yeah, are you Mr. Tree? That’s so pathetic. Fat ass.

The truth is, I’ve been in a toxic relationship with this girl named Mallory for years. I don’t speak as romantically as I did about her when we were in the honeymoon phase. Most days we’re just trying to get by. But we’re working on it, and we’re gaining some perspective. We’re focusing on the reasons why we fell in love in the first place.

The thing about me is I never give up. I have a motor. I do it again and again and again, and that is why I will win.

Hope you enjoy the song. I think it’s best listened to on nice speakers, by yourself. Listen to what we’re saying. You may find something important there, or maybe you’ll just get to know me as a friend a little better.

Oh, and check out the end of the music video. Going to pay a visit to Mr. Tree, and with any luck, help him find Sunday. 💚

Now I’m going to take this to the comments to thank a few people…

First, my wife @sierraknell, thank you for helping me navigate this long battle with myself, I really appreciate your patience and love you so much. @the_samuel_sheppard, thank you for lifting creatively in places l've struggled to, and finding the words to narrate this crazy parachute-less fall we've been on together, when I don't have them. @keithlambson and @sorenbuchert, l'm so grateful for our memories together and all the laughs. I'm so grateful l've been able to make these songs that I love with you all for so long, I'm so proud of them. But I'm most grateful for your forgiveness over the years, your patience and your love. @scottbwiley, it's been a blessing to work with you since I was literally a kid. You've taught me so much, thank you for what you do for this band and this whole community, and thank you for bringing Roseburg's sound to life through the years even when we thought we were a metal band. @zhaun_paul and @oliverwdahl Thank you so, so much for your help telling this story. I’ve absolutely loved working with each of you. @riverleewilde and @beesonyeah you guys mean so much to me. Thanks for inspiring me every day to keep working and getting better, even through hard times. Love you guys as artists and even more as friends.
