The first response of any problem is Medicate.” As forKing Overdosedhe adds, “That’s representing me, the times that I was, and am, afflicted by the same methods of escape.” AndKill Our Demons, he explains, “That’s the end goal: To face our shit, realize that we have some shit going on inside, everybody…whether it be from traumatic childhood experiences, whether it be from a lack of attention, confidence issues, insecurities. Whatever it is, we gotta be honest with ourselves.”
