Writing this song helped me sort through regret, anger, and heartache. It's one of my favorite songs on the album, and it felt cathartic to finish. I'm so happy it's in your hands now, and I hope it helps you deal with any bloodsuckers in your life. All my thanks 4ever ❤️" in the carousel's caption.
