They say you don’t grow up you just grow old
It’s safe to say I haven’t done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground
But here I am alive.
Here I am alive
Here I Am Alive by Yellowcard off of their latest album Southern Air.
Fantastic new track
“Hope For Now” - City and Colour
See, we don’t really care who you are,
We’ve kinda got this non-exclusive policy of determining exactly,
Who we open up to and let into our family,
And then who becomes a part of our united mass of harmony.
And that’s kind of become the thesis to this song,
Through suffering, acceptance, grief, and strife,
There’s no way that your puzzle piece fits into our puzzle wrong,
‘cause everyone is welcome on this stage that we call life.
And we don’t really care who you are,
Everyone is capable of looking up and wishing on a star.
So catch, so contagious, this day-dreamer’s disease,
And hope can be your sword, slaying darkness with belief.
And we don’t really care who you are,
Regardless of how lost you are returning from, regardless of how far.
So bring me all the worst of your broken, bruised, insane.
Because that’s the thing with music: when it hits, you feel no pain.
No matter what you did, I promise we forgave it,
When all that’s left is your voice, you’ve got no choice but to raise it.
All you broken hearts, all you dejected dreams,
Put your hands in the air, and let me hear you scream.
Sanctuary by Paradise Fears
It’s been a long time since someone has put the true essence of musi into words. Love this song
In time you’ll find,
This life’s a painting and you’re the artist,
So open your eyes,
It’s never too late to clear your canvas
So paint me jealous,
Paint me rage,
For God’s sake paint me anything,Just paint,
Your brush awaits

City amd Colour “Natural Disaster”
Make no mistake
We are not afraid
To bear the burden of repeating
What they’re thinking anyway
Let’s raise the stakes
On the bet we made
Let’s decide to be the architects
The master of our fate
We still believe in all the things that we stood by before
And after everything we’ve seen here maybe even more
I know we’re not the only ones, and we were not the first
And unapologetically we’ll stand behind each word
Rise Against - Architects
City and Colour - Little Hell
Take what you want
Steal my pride, build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out, but I’ll just scream
I’m only one voice in a million, but you ain’t taking that from me
“Unbreakable” by Four Year Strong, album: In Some Way Shape or Form
