He said, "Somewhere around the time Chester passed, and we had already been reeling from Cornell's passing, I was flipping through the news and saw the suicide rate for (U.S. military) vets was skyrocketing, and all these people are OD-ing from heroin, drug addictions, opioids. The school shootings.

"It was just a collection of things that all hit me at once. So it was inspired by a series of events that just came together to impact me as a human being, all at once." Listen to it here
