Nightmare Lyre Every song on this album is ridiculously catchy, really talented song writing right there Favorite track: The Sound Of Your Heart.

RK Where melody, energy, and volume collide: Four Year Strong's still going strong, showing they're not averse to reinventing themselves while staying true to their (reinvented?) roots. Also, it's one of those albums that grows on you from those roots: instead of instant singalongs, the album increasingly reveals its interesting nature (dare I say subtlety) after several intense listening sessions. At ludicrously high volume of course! Favorite track: The Sound Of Your Heart.

Jamie Watt Purchasing this album didn't even come into question. They are by far my favourite band, and although I was in the minority who loved their previous release, this self-titled is a prime example of why Four Year Strong are the leaders in easycore/pop punk/melodic hardcore/awesome music. This record gets back to what they're known for (minus the synthesizer, of course). It's a stellar release.

Watch out for those breakdowns. Favorite track: Stolen Credit Card!.

Charlie Österlund Hairpulling riffs, stellar hooks and pummeling breakdowns rain galore. Punk music doesn't get any more fun than this, bravo guys. Favorite track: Wipe Yourself Off, Man. You Dead..

Just stop the act You've been climbing up my back to weigh me down I attempt Keeping you and all your baggage off the ground You're not just another nail in my coffin You're the box I'm laid to rotten alone in But don't be surprised if I don't make it out alive So get a grip, you're losing it Your time is fading fast I won't waste another second picking you up when you're falling Back away I'm anything but ok What's the point of living if you're already dead? Take the best Of everything I've got left I won't waste my days hating myself to death What's left to say? I've been heading down this road, or so I'm told Apparently I'm out of control Apparently I'm about to explode I never thought that I'd be giving you up I never thought that I'd be giving you up, I never I never thought that you'd be holding me back I never thought that you'd be holding me back So get a grip, you're losing it Your time is fading fast I won't waste another second picking you up when you're falling Back away I'm anything but ok What's the point of living if you're already dead? Take the best Of everything I've got left I won't waste my days hating myself to death There will be nothing left of you when I go Because of you, the air I breathe is suffocating I won't waste another second on you Picking you up when you fall Back away I'm anything but ok What's the point of living if you're already dead? Take the best Of everything I've got left I won't waste my days hating myself to death So take the best Of everything I've got left I won't waste my days hating myself to death

Peel your skin back to show what you’re made of Too bad you never did have the guts to know where your heart should go Sit back and twiddle your fingers Hope that no one else figures out the way that you play the game Starved for attention that alone wouldn’t you fill up So you feed on the weak and you drink up their blood, but someday they’ll turn on you I’ll watch the world go up in flames I’ll strike the match to help you do the same The time is now, tick tock, its ticking away So now I’m here to rain on your parade Take a look in the mirror “Who’s that”? Someone in fear of running out of good places to hide Crawl out from the dark Feel the light hit your face It will never be as bright as the spotlight you crave But watch out before it burns you
3.
Stop putting words in my mouth They taste better when they’re coming out Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down Don’t let it go to your head I’m not here for my health if I was then I’d be dead Instead I’m testing my patience waiting around for you to be gracious I’ll never let go Don’t be afraid I’m on the front lines to fight for you Last time I said goodbye I thought my good years were washed up Hung out to dry With the mindset that everything was fine but then I realized That it was right in front of my eyes Everyday I’m smashed and ripped and torn to bits that never fit the mold But I recognize the way that I was never really whole
4.
Clear my head It's all I got left It's the only thing to keep me from winding up dead And I could never believe That we can't even see That this madness feeds our sanity Watch the dust start to rise through the air I don't know if it ever comes back again Breathe it in so I never forget where we came from Don't put out the fire It's been the summer like I wanted but it's never enough And although my bones are tired I won't change a thing Bear the crowd We'll live like royals How the hell? Wait no, wake up My brain is boiled And still we all play the game In the sun and the rain 'Cause this madness feeds our sanity Feel the heat as it's beating me down I don't know if I'll ever get up again Take it in so I never forget where we came from Don't put out the fire It's been the summer like I wanted but it's never enough And although my bones are tired I won't change a thing When it's gone, its never gone for too long This madness feeds our sanity Watch the dust start to rise through the air I don't know if it ever comes back again Breathe it in so I'll never forget I will never forget where we came from Don't put out the fire It's been the summer like I wanted but it's never enough And although my bones are tired I won't change a thing When it's gone, its never gone for too long

Beat by beat, and line by line I've got a hole in my heart that once had pride For fifteen years and in my time Watch my life flash right before my eyes I'm fading into be unfamiliar I'm spending my time holding my breath If you're gonna' tear me down Then you better have both feet planted on the ground Open up your eyes and let the light in Take a shot in the dark I've got my ear to the ground and my eye on the prize Take a leap of faith, we've gotta' learn how to fly It's my time to shine, I'm gonna' light up the world 'Til I'm the last one standing Locked inside a room without a door Found a crack spreading all along the floor I saw bright light through the divide So I dug my way through to the other side What happened to the burning desire For you to pull yourself back to your feet? If you're gonna' tear me down Then you better have both feet planted on the ground Open up your eyes and let the light in Take a shot in the dark I've got my ear to the ground and my eye on the prize Take a leap of faith, we've gotta' learn how to fly It's my time to shine, I'm gonna' light up the world 'Til I'm the last one standing All the years knowing the truth with nothing to lose In time the stars will align and show you the proof But will it matter to you if I ever pull through? Save me Bring me back to life If you're gonna' tear me down Then you better have both feet planted on the ground Open up your eyes and let the light in Take a shot in the dark I've got my ear to the ground and my eye on the prize Take a leap of faith, we've gotta' learn how to fly It's my time to shine, I'm gonna' light up the world 'Til I'm the last one standing

Gravity 03:45
It's about time that you paid attention Walked a million miles in the wrong direction Go back, back home where your heart should be Go back to when you thought that you'd never agree to be broken Show the world that you're coming in locked and loaded What's the worse that could happen anyway? Don't forget to stop and take a breath Before your lungs have nothing left Gravity, please don't let go of me Just keep me from drifting through the atmosphere until I disappear Every day I'm another world away From where I'm supposed to be So gravity, don't let go of me So sick of the altitude The higher I go, the more that I lose It's alright, I'll be fine I wouldn't mind if I was just falling 'Cause when I hit the ground I'll be running What's the worse that could happen anyway? Don't forget to stop and take a breath Before your lungs have nothing left Gravity, please don't let go of me Just keep me from drifting through the atmosphere until I disappear Every day I'm another world away From where I'm supposed to be So gravity, don't let go of me While I'm drifting away I hope that you stay away, away from me But I know you'll just fall back to sleep And I know my time is winding down So you find me floating out among the clouds Don't forget to stop and take a breath Before your lungs have nothing left Gravity, please don't let go of me Just keep me from drifting through the atmosphere until I disappear Every day I'm another world away From where I'm supposed to be So don't you forget about me Gravity, please don't let go of me Just keep me from drifting through the atmosphere until I disappear Every day I'm another world away From where I'm supposed to be So gravity, don't let go of me

Who Cares? 01:54
What's the difference between the right, the wrong? The black, the white? The weak, the strong? Are you even listening? I swear it's like I'm talking to myself Living in my own personal hell Take the lead and fight too, or follow Wonder if I'll be here tomorrow Is this really happening? I don't wanna' blur the line I just wanted to fade away Save it for somebody who cares I don't wanna' have to take the reigns and show you how to get there I got more important things to do Than care about your point of view Take the lead and fight too, or follow Wonder if I'll be here tomorrow Is this really happening? I don't wanna' blur the line I just wanted to fade away Save it for somebody who cares Who cares?

What's the point? You've been the hero, the starter The zero, the martyr And everything in between The changing face of a legacy But I've been waiting a long time on the side lines For the time to be perfect, the wait to be worth it To watch you find a way to crash and burn Brace for the hate, to be the subject of debate Wait for the perfect time for them to watch you wipe the dirt from your face As you constantly save us from ourselves I bet you stop before you destroy something else Don't be alarmed You've been the one to compare to, but now I'm prepared to Let you fade away, let you fall into decay It's time for you to let go Break down the walls that stand so tall I'll watch you find a way to crash and burn Brace for the hate, to be the subject of debate Wait for the perfect time for them to watch you wipe the dirt from your face As you constantly save us from ourselves I bet you stop before you destroy something else I can't hear you when you're talking through your teeth Spit it out, and let me go free 'Cause we're never gonna' be like you We're never gonna' bend the truth You're never gonna' break us We're never gonna' be like you We're never gonna' bend the truth You're never gonna' break us... (I can't hear when you talk through your teeth) (Spit it out and let me go free) Brace for the hate, to be the subject of debate Wait for the perfect time for them to watch you wipe the dirt from your face As you constantly save us from ourselves I bet you stop before you destroy something else We're never gonna' be like you We're never gonna' bend the truth You're never gonna' break us We're never gonna' be like you We're never gonna' bend the truth We're never gonna' break!

I can feel you casting shadows from the far side of the door But the daylight creeping underneath it makes them easy to ignore I’m gonna make it out before you take me out and I’ve got the state of mind that can prove it This time ill stand through the winter, last through the night Just keep your head down and you’ll be alright For the last time I try to hide what you’ve been trying to find Will we go down like the rest of them? Living up to the little mistakes Fitting in to the molds I’ve broken time and time again Not if I can help it I will never understand how just a few words can break a man You’ve got to pay for what you say and what you do Ill be taking it all in stride Ill be leaving it all behind me So forget everything that you think I know Everything that you wont let go I want to know what would it take to make want to you try? I want to know what would it take to make you die?

Take a second to discover that your skin is getting tougher I suffered from a classic case of "nobody cares" You've been building your walls up as high as you can What's the point of fighting back if you know you can't stand alone? It's time that you realize those days are gone And they're never coming back So this is the sound of your heart Well I thought it would be louder The beats might be too far apart When they slow to a stop you'll be dying to get back to the start Sell your soul for a ticket to ride You've been trying to find a reason to feel more alive I've been calling the shots for as long as I can So you're on your own and now you know what it's like to stand alone It's time that you realize those days are gone And they're never coming back So this is the sound of your heart Well I thought it would be louder The beats might be too far apart When they slow to a stop you'll be dying to get back to the start Show me the light in your heart

Will I ever know what it's called when I see it Will I feel like it's there when I call Will I crawl to the end of everything that I've ever known Just to prove I can conquer it all But still I know that I am just what you needed Count to ten but still I'm defeated Every time that you turn to go And still, I hang on every word that you mutter Bite the tongue and choke out the stutter Every time that you say "hello" Time rolls on, still I feel like it's already gone It's never too late to keep your head straight Move your hands back and forth in perfect symmetry So you can live like a time bomb that doesn't have long Go down in history Is there anyone out there? Or am I doing this on my own? This time, I'm gonna take the world on, bracing for impact Cross my fingers, hope and believe that You'll be right by my side Time rolls on, now I feel like it's taking way too long It's never too late to keep your head straight Move your hands back and forth and prove it's symmetry So you can live like a time bomb that doesn't have long Go down in history I know my days are numbered, so I'm making them count I've left those minutes behind me without a second of doubt It's never too late to keep your head straight Move your hands back and forth and prove it's symmetry So you can live like a time bomb that doesn't have long Go down in history It's never too late to keep your head straight Move your hands back and forth and prove it's symmetry So you can live like a time bomb that doesn't have long Go down in history
