We were doing fucking You know radio shows and interviews and then you know, you got the concert at night and it never ends man. It's just Well, that's how then I did my own tour. I did my own tour for 10 fucking years straight, you know, and Right, I didn't travel overseas too much. But I mainly did the united states. I was all over the fucking us, you know from um I think it was uh from 2002 all the way up to about 2000 and uh, uh, let's say about nine I took the break for You know since then and you know, now I just recently been coming out again Okay, I was doing doing what I can Just you know, now that with this breakup and everything I'm writing these songs now, you know, and they're more positive, you know more expression of um You don't you don't want to be negative, you know when you're trying to help someone And you don't want to be negative, you know when Well, when things break up, you know, it's the last thing you want to do, you know, so writing good songs is positive But the negativity comes when you're trying to help someone and save someone And they're resisting you with Well, it wasn't that no, no, no, let's not talk about this. Let's keep that silent But it's nothing to do with resisting or rejecting to To go to like relationship counseling. It's just you know the point of doing it and You know actions does speak louder than words, but you know People, you know, it is a fear of you know going in there because you never know what the fuck they're gonna do The system is so crooked these days, you know They all they want to do is put people away and fucking put you on all these drugs and you know, it's not right You know and and then later on in life those drugs after they put you away They fuck up your life. You know, I mean they fuck your brain up. They fuck everything up Well these doctors they don't realize now they don't realize the fucking harm they do to their patients, man They don't realize it. They don't want to deal Fucking drugs They they want to keep you quiet. They want to sweep you under the carpet. So the drugs are a way to To to dumb you up like archie bunkers to say, you know and to me right now. I'm gonna start a campaign I'm starting a campaign. I actually got some big people involved now. You know with this I'm silent about it, but I'm starting a campaign about these motherfucking, you know Doctors are out there that that go and put these people on these drugs. They they get test them like fucking test dummies, you know And this is my scientific project We're going to put you on these new meds that we got in and these meds, you know It calls aldol or reciproadone or something or you know And we're gonna test you like a monkey and then we're gonna see how you react to it Test these patients. So they'll take people off the streets that are completely fucking normal and stick them in a fucking hospital You know, if they don't have parents or something You know, maybe maybe they got beat up or something, you know, maybe a fucking drug dealer put them out in the street You know, it's a crooked fucking system, man. And You know, you gotta be addressed man, and there's things that washington dc don't even fucking address They're worried about korea. Meanwhile, people are all fucked up in the u.s.
