"To you, they're just a band. They just play music. They are a bunch of
tattooed freaks. But to me, they are the reason that I still breathe.
They are the only hope I have when everything has fallen apart. They are
the bright light in the otherwise pitch dark. Their message, their
music, their lyrics pick me out of my hopelessness. The fact they have
accomplished their goals, that they have over come much of what I have
to suffer through .. Well, that makes me believe in future. To you, it
may be stupid to cry when you see them live or when you meet them for
the first time. But for me, it's like coming face to face with the hero
that saved my life. Go ahead and look at me as an obsessed, crazed fan.
Tell me I'm weird, that I need to get a life. But they will always be my
heroes. They will always be the band that saved me."
