I’m a Mess - Frank Iero and the Patience

What inspired the lyrics to the song “Dear Percocet, I Don’t Think We Should See Each Other Anymore”?

That’s, y'know, real life experience. I — I think that […] coming from a line of, uh, of addiction — here’s the thing. Y'know, I think that there’s certain things that are inherited traits, right? Um, I feel like, y'know, depression and addiction and things — things of these nature, like sometimes these are, y'know, predetermined for you, y'know, they’re in our DNA. And, uh, I know that if I — if I wasn’t careful, I could fall really, really, uh, fast […] When you enjoy something like — like that too much, uh, it — it puts a film over you, you can’t see, uh, what’s really important anymore. And uh, and so yeah, that song is about, y'know, uh, wanting to be — to be more present and to live in the now and to remember the things that, y'know, truly do matter.

- Frank Iero
