Intervention

Grace,

We’ve come here today because we love you. Please know that we’re not doing this out spite, but out of love, out of compassion and out of hope that you will find your way to sobriety and happiness. We’ve seen you fall deeper and deeper into this state of abuse and it’s something we can no longer just watch. We’ve come here today not as enemies but as a mother, a father, a sister and friends that love you. Please know that we are always there for you.

We know you blame us....blame me..... for whatever it was that brought you to this point and we are sorry. I’m so sorry. Please forgive us. Forgive me Grace. The pain that we caused you, by our pride, our dreams and our neglect is something we can never undo. It is our hope though, to spare you from the pain that you’re bringing on yourself right now. Our hearts bleed for you Grace, and it is a pain we can no longer endure. We will not abandon you in your moment of need. We will never leave you.

We will fight alongside you, not against you. You are not a burden to be carried, or a cross to bear. You are a gift that has brightened all of our lives from the moment you came into them. We are so sorry that we allowed you to fall so far. We just couldn’t see the signs. Maybe it was pride, or shame in ourselves that stopped us.

We miss you Grace; the beautiful girl we took for granted, the innocent child who has since fallen so far away from us. We have all been stung by this venomous serpent. The sins we unknowingly committed have branded themselves onto you. You bear the stigmata of our mistakes and for that we can only ask for your forgiveness.

Nothing we can say or do could possibly make up for taking from you the one thing you cried out for time and time again; your freedom to choose the life that you wanted for yourself. We stole from you your voice, and for that we are so very sorry. We ask you to forgive us Grace. Only then can you allow us to be there for you now.

We beg of you Grace, let us be there for you now as we never were before. Your voice; disguised in rage and anger calls for a home for your gentle heart. Let us answer that call, let us comfort you in your time of need. We will not abandon you as we once had; we swear to you our love.

We will not force you to change your ways, lest we forget our past transgressions. We can only be here for you, waiting until you’ve chosen this for yourself. Please do not be swayed by our pleas for you, they come from love. We will wait here for you Grace, for now and forever with our arms extended, until you come back to us.

Fanticide image

Fanticide Brooklyn, New York

Fanticide has always been a one man band by me (Adami). I found myself making music that is more cinematic and conceptual in nature. Eventually in 2012, it became clear to me that my music is becoming more and more soundtrack like. I decided to write a concept album and found it to be the most natural writing I had ever done. Albums will be rock operas/concept albums. ... more
