As I finished out the last 3 and a half weeks of tour, once again I kept minimal contact with my family. It wasn't because of lack of caring, just that after a while I felt so completely hopeless to the entire situation. By the time I got back I knew Kim would be better and adjusted to being forced to use crutches for the next 4 or 5 months. My family also rarely called me to give me updates. In fact, they didn't tell me until a couple of days later about the fact that Kim's heart stopped due to a morphine overdose, because they didn't want to scare me, and for that I am extremely grateful.
lyrics
Every mile brings me further East. I won't call or text; I can't cope with this distance. My loving family decide not to disturb me. Better to be in the dark, than miserable in the car. For the first time, I'm afraid of someone dying.
