Being dragged into the loneliest corner of my mind, I really didn’t think I was going to escape this time of my life. Truly, the darkest moments I’ve ever had to experience. I wrote this song without realizing what I was writing about. I was so close to giving up and letting my depression consume me, but this song was my last attempt of scratching my way out of the darkness and towards the light. During this time of my life, I learned that the most vibrant flowers bloom in the dark, that hero’s are forged in the fire, and fortitude is built on pain and anguish. It order to do what’s right, sometimes you have to do what’s wrong. And sometimes, when you’re doing what is righteous, and what is good, the closer you get to the light; the closer the darkness is behind you. It would have been so much easier to give up during this time of my life, and let the evil around me win..but that’s not who I am. Forged in the fire, bloomed in the darkness, renegades are made here. This lullaby is for everyone who has forgotten their strength, who feels beaten down to the point of submission. For those who see no end to the darkness, I want you to hear my voice and find yours. I can’t wait for you all to hear the song that epitomized the turning point of my life. When I became the hero I needed, again. #RENEGADE #JANUARY24」1月23日 9時10分
