I live. I am human. I am a teenager. I am a guy. I live for something greater. I struggle with the basics. I groan at the usual. But I keep living to do what has been asked of me.
You can call me Speedy.
I'm here to reach out to the ones I love and care for. Once in a while I'll get sentimental, or deep, and probably blog something like it.
My life has simple aims, and a difficult path to them. I deal with it the best I can.
I am Speedy. I am Christian, but do not fear me, for I will love you regardless. I guess this is the chance for anyone who cares, to see the depths of my mind, and everything it holds, dark or bright. Happy or sad.
Read my thoughts or leave them, they are yours to criticize.
"The other night, I had a dream
There was a world full of kings and queens
But it was cold, dark as the night
We were the fire on the moonlit skies
We weren’t divided, we were the same
And we were free but we all wore chains
We couldn’t see it, but we created
A place between truth and overrated"
My grandfather got me this album yesterday as an early Christmas gift. Favorite band ever’s greatest and latest album? Heck yeah! I’ve been listening to it almost non-stop.
I played the whole thing over last night somewhere between 5 and 23 times…
God Bless TFK…
I’m going to spam a song or two and lyrics now… :P
I’ve stood alone and I’ve fallen down Your hands were there to pick me off the ground Sometimes I cry cause I can’t believe Your love is big enough to cover me
Sometimes I’ve wondered if you’re even there But when I feel far away you meet me there And like a candle makes a brighter place This mark you’ve made on me can’t be erased
"Wait, it’s just about to break, its more than I can take,
Everything’s about to change,
I feel it in my veins, its not going away,
Everything’s about to change."
"We come rushing through your stereo system, into your ear canal,
like the alignment of the solar system.
Have you forgotten about the days when we just wanted to rock cause we like it that way,
and no more hate, no more lies, no more politics.
So sick of fakes who cry over copied riffs.
This is the day that we rise and we conquer it.
Raise your mics to the sky like apocalypse.
Everyone bounce, show me what it’s all about, don’t stand just bounce.
‘Cause we’re takin over now.
It’s TFK, we rock the party, and keep the party jumpin in an old school way."
Here comes an opening, she’s gotta broken wing, if you can feel the sting. Take care of everything, if she can make a scene. I’ll show you what i mean. She pack a loaded gun, set fire to anyone, knows how to make ‘em run. She’s down on sixth street, she’s going sixty. She’ll show you how to breathe.
I don’t want to see. I don’t want to be. I don’t wanna be anyone, anymore. I don’t want to fake. I don’t want to break. I don’t wanna say anything, anymore. Every time you walk away, I wish you’d stay, instead of pushing further away. Every time I hear you say “I just need one to take this pain away.”
You’re a broken wing, not a broken thing. You can heal in time, if you try. It’ll be okay. You can walk away, sweet Julia…

I seriously love August Burns Red. I’m afraid to say they may be replacing Thousand Foot Krutch as my favorite band ever. (forgive me TFK) But all their songs are lyrically amazing and hold so much more weight. I can feel the emotion in their singer. They have a point to make and they want to make it well. It’s beautiful. Now I’m not getting all sappy dramatic here. But it just seriously is beautiful.
And of all the ABR songs, I’ve had the hardest time picking a favorite. You have those weeks where you hear one song by your favorite band and then the lyrics in that one just define something really well. There was a while where I was extremely pissed at my ex-girlfriend, because she was raising hell with all my other friends, and that raised hell in me. You don’t screw around with my friends. I will come after you. And so for the longest time, I was hooked on “Leveler” (the song, not album) by ABR, because it made me think of her. It made me think of what a big fat lie our relationship ended up being, and how much she was against me and what I truly stood for. There’s just a song for every situation. And they’re not afraid to voice their angers on and against all the hardest parts of the world. All the yucky stuff about being a Christian. The stuff alot of Christians want to ignore. They talk about it all. They preach the end, and they preach the pain, they preach REALITY!
What is reality anymore? We’re all so stuck trying to be fake. Trying to be what society demands of us. It makes me sick. I don’t want to be fake. I don’t want people to make expectant judgements of me. That’s not me. They don’t know me. They have no idea who I am. All I want is reality. All I want is the truth! (<=== ABR quote right there) And the truth is so freaking hard to find anymore… It’s depressing.
ANYWAY. Speaking of the truth. My whole original point of this post was merely to state that “Truth of a Liar” off of August Burns Red’s Messengers album was perhaps my favorite among all their songs, if I had to pick one. I guess I ended up ranting about how much their music means to me and real life though. XD woops…. XP
It’s all true though. I always thought TFK was the band that got me, but now I see such a deeper heart to ABR. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older. But I’m tired of standing by. I do not lie when I proclaim I’m a warrior for Christ. I will fight for what I believe and I will fight to defend the ones I love. Every force of hell, every doubter, every intellectual, every judge, hater, deceiver, and liar can come after me. I will not fear you. I stand in the army of God, and you have all lost. Face me, and by the end of our battle, you will be destroyed. Those are not my boasts. That is the boast of God. That is someone you will never prove wrong.
