This is how I'm feeling today...

Another reason I love Tim and Rise Against and all the words he says:

"when enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there"

"To the fight in the desert where progress stands still. When we've lost our will That's how we'll know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace"

"This is a chance to set things straight To bend or break the rules back into place There is no middle ground, no compromise We've drawn the line With perfect aim, we stand back and throw Glass windows break and it's all about to blow Lights go out as we pass the torch again In hope that is stays lit"

"Neutrality means that you don't really care Cuz the struggle goes on even when you're not there Blind and unaware"

"is this the point where we give up? now is this the point where we give in? now is this the point where we turn ourselves in? or is this the time to ask questions? or is this the time to seek answers? now is this the time to throw it all in?"

"this is the point where we stand up now this is the point where we take back the things that are keeping us from being free"

"To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines We toss and turn but don't sleep Each breath we take makes us thieves Like causes without rebels Just talk but promise nothing else We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow seeds to see us through'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true We wait to reap what we are due. To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking awayAnd the blare of the sirens combing the streets Chased down like dogs we run from Your grasp until the sun comes up"

"White needles buried in the red The engine roars and then it gives But never dies'Cause we don't live We just survive On the scraps that you throw away"

Now some of you are questioning my loyalty to 311. It must be said that 311 shaped my young impressionable life into who I am today. And for it I've seen them live over 20 times including TWO 3/11 days. So why am I not the first one to hear about their new album coming out right now and the new spring tour? Let me put it this way. 311 is my family. They are my unsung hero and will always be there for me when I need them. They know I love them and that love is eternal just like my real family. Rise Against is my new bff and all I want to do is hang out with them and cause trouble all the time.
