“This is about my sister, the times we were growing up as kids. It’s also a letter to god, asking him to cure her of cancer. At the end, I say, ‘I can’t take this anymore. Won’t you take and give her pain to me, because my whole life I’ve made mistakes.’ She’s the good person; she’s always treated everybody in her life really well. On the other hand, I’ve had problems with drugs and alcohol, and maybe I wasn’t so nice to everybody. So I’m saying to god, ‘Why isn’t it me? Take my ass instead of her.’ I’m crying throughout this whole song, and at the end, when I say ‘I hope that you can hear me scream,’ the guitar takes over and starts screaming for me.” Scooter Ward
