I don’t build walls to keep other people out.
I build walls to keep myself in,
and save those other people from me.
When those walls are broken,
you will be too…
I’ve feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me.
Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide.
I’ve thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea, hoping the waves carry them away from me.
Oh….
My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing…
My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing to stay
alive.
And here I go, off to make a change. I’m screaming… screaming revival.
All of my strength, all of my might, will go into this to take back my life.
All of my strength, all of my might, will go back into this to take back my
life…
…my life… my life… my life. I’m taking back my life… my life… my
life… my life… taking back my life.
Let’s go….
This song is music to my ears… (this song is music…)
and is a new production on an old stage (…on an old stage).
I won’t dwell in unhappiness (I will not dwell in…), grasping humility,
asking forgiveness.
Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today. I’ll never stop the fighting and
I’ll take it all away.
Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today. I’ll never stop the fighting and
I’ll take it away
August Burns Red — Internal Cannon

Okay… even if you’re not a a metalhead like me… trust me when I say if you just listen to this whole song, and read the lyrics along… you’ll find a connection for it. I believe it talks about something very real that is relative to ALL OF US. We all suffer pain in our lives, but we need to overcome that pain, and pull ourselves out of it. Nobody is going to truly do that for us. We may get help, but ultimately, it’s up to us in the end. By our own willpower can we overcome the things that bother us.
Also, this song breaks into some epic salsa grooves every once in a while XD
So even if you’re like “EWWW METAL! EWWW SCREAMING!” Just please listen to it once. And see how you feel afterwards. I haven’t always been a fan of metal, so believe me when I say it is bearable and can grow on you.
Metal more often then not talks about real, deep, and meaningful feelings we have. It is extremely heartfelt music, and once you comprehend that, the screaming and growling makes a little more sense.
Of course you don’t have too. You could just read all this and be like “Nah!” or not even read this at all and just zoom by as you go through the billions of tumblr posts on your dashboard. It’s all up to you (:
Have an awesome day tumblr peepz!
