Tripping out like going crazy.

It was just and then afterwards I was extremely calm Kind of rejuvenated felt crazy clarity mentally.

I think so.

I don't know.

You know, I just, I went hard for a long time.

Yeah.

And it kind of got out of hand there for a little while at one point.

And I just, you know, I didn't like go to rehab or like go do anything crazy.

I just kind of, I was my...

I didn't want to disappoint my family.

I was like, you know, my career was going really well.

And I was like, man, I'm not the kind that can hold all this together while living like this.

Like I have to get it.

I got to get my shit together.

And like growing up in like, you know, these songwriters and these artists that I, that I admired and just thought walked on water.

I wanted to be like these guys, like most of them lived very hard and, and,

Live to the songs that they wrote and I like was like fully convicted on that I was like I've got to lives the songs that I'm writing so I think I said a list when I said that live the songs that I'm writing and It just you know, I was so into that and then it just kind of got to the point where I was never a good outlaw if I would ever be referred to as one but I just

I don't know.

I was, I was really, really into that.

And I thought I had to go do that to write the kind of songs I wanted to write.
