The 3 AM hours are brutal. Every veteran knows them - those dark moments when the mind replays what it can't forget. Traditional therapy helps, but sometimes music reaches where words can't.
Thomas James Lane lived this reality. Combat veteran turned psychotherapist, he understood trauma from both sides - as someone who survived it and someone trained to treat it. But when his own 3 AM battles intensified, he needed something more immediate, more accessible.
What started as personal survival became something bigger. By combining human truth with AI tools, Thomas created a reproducible workflow that any veteran can use - no musical experience required, just honesty and the courage to transform pain into purpose.
Across 100 days, he mapped the journey from wound to healing to integration, creating three albums that serve as both art and medicine. Each song became proof that the protocol works, that transformation is possible.
