Adam told Atwood Magazine, “The bravery of asking for help has always been a side note for me. Asking for help is usually the last thing to do, the final step, when it should really be the first.

Your mind's an empty warehouse
A facade of broken windows
Where the leaves in the yard grow
Older than the wind blows
And whenever you go there

Swallowing steps just to get
Out of the basement
And how is the view
Is the roof what you're used to
Being so low with a high that abused you
He said I need you now
More than anything

Tell me everything

Now when I drive on the parkway at night
I still swear I can see your ghost
Passing the exit where you used to live
All I wonder is if you'll ever find home
Oh and I said I need you need now
More than anything
