I change my story by changing what I believe about myself. When I clean up the lies I believe about myself, the lies I believe about other people change. Every time I change myself, my whole story changes to adapt to the new main character.

Day one, day one,
Start over again.
Step one, step one,
I'm barely making sense.
For now, I'm faking it
Until I'm pseudo making it.
From scratch, begin again,
But this time "I" as "I"
And not as "we".

I believe that story changes reality.

With me you could have been another person.

I was on tour with Soundgarden, and I remember writing down the title. The title immediately brought up the idea of the song, which is that someone is so distracted by a new person or a new thing in their life that they kind of forgot that they had given up on life. Sometimes it just happens without us even noticing.

I'm not like them But I can pretend
The sun is gone But I have a light
the day is done
I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
