Spirit Breaker Lyrics

Staring at the walls to pass the time
Pinch myself make sure I'm still alive
I'm not alright It's become a disguise
Friends and family, I'm losing all ties
Staring at the walls to pass the time
Pinch myself, make sure I'm still alive
I've been here before

I will survive another month under gray skies

I'm holding on as a tight as I can
The monotony never seems to end
Every day feels the same
Every day I think about the place I'd rather be than here
I've been here before
I will survive another month under these grey skies
I've been here before
I will survive another month under these grey skies

We've carried each other through and over the seas
We've carried each other through and over the seas

We live for nights like this
The ones we won't forget
Forever remember
We live for nights like this
The ones we won't forget
Forever remember

I hope to open my eyes to see this picture
I'm throwing it all away
I hope to open my eyes to see this moment
That I should treasure forever

Staring at the walls to pass the time
Pinch myself make sure I'm still alive
I'm not alright
It's become a disguise
Friends and family, I'm losing all ties
I'm holding on as tight as I can

Coming home, I don't know when
I'm holding on as tight as I can, I swear

My dearest love, I woke up tired today, even more so than yesterday
How that's possible, I don't even know, nor do I want to
It's hard to find the motivation when you are this drained
My body aches but I'm used to feeling this way
Seventeen down, seventeen to go
That's not so bad, right?
I think of home often and of you even more
Yesterday I saw the sun shining
It appeared for a few minutes just after two
For a moment I found myself smiling
As if those short rays of light were enough to get me by
Maybe that was enough
Thank God, I needed that
I surely needed that

For a moment I found myself smiling
As if those short rays of light were enough to get me by
Maybe that was enough
Thank God, I needed that
I surely needed that
Thank God, I surely needed that

Spirit Breaker

This was released as the first single from August Burns Red's Rescue & Restore. The album was made available for pre-order on iTunes on June 4, 2013 with a free download of this song.

The song's interlude features a spoken word part as frontman Jake Luhrs reads a letter.

The song is written from the perspective of a soldier serving overseas trying to hold on to hope. Guitarist and principal songwriter JB Brubaker explained to The Alternative Press: "The lyrics are about being stuck in a depressing time/place in your life but trying to remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel."
