Internal Cannon Lyrics
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

Song commentary by guitarist JB Brubaker:
"This is my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite songs we’ve ever written. I’ve described ‘Internal Cannon’ as our Latin song. There are a few sections that I think are going to turn some heads and have people saying either ‘Whoa! That was awesome!’ or ‘Whoa! That was weird. I don’t know if I like that.’ For the latter group, I’d like to think it’ll grow on ’em."
without a doubt my fav from ABR. this has been my theme song for day to day struggles and issues of my past.
I think most if it is pretty self-explanatory. "Tomorrow is gone I'll start living for today, I'll never stop the fighting and I'll take it away". This means live every day like it's your last, but you'll continue to push forward to survive. I also think it might relate to Jake Luhrs (Vocals) getting off of drugs, and starting his life up again. "I've thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea, hoping the waves carry them away from me". This means that he has done things he's guilty or not proud of, and hopes that he can just toss them away and forget they ever happened, even though he knows he can't. This is also shown in "All of my strength, all of my might, will go into this to take back my life."http://click.adbrite.com/c/Cv4CxbdA3hn7ez4IPUyTPOwuq6YV5amwmvcojQqlcTG2nWizrKIl5DjDKi0Fe169oOIhKew_cn8BQ4InipQLjRzM6tjs7nKwi5bD9JKq6-YJAWFGcasAUoGJqnCdZ1jbwZaN1PM_vISfIlNF5GgDM9n4qhayP_PX3jGCVT-XUHzADQ4_KmofMv4r1SAPY7003jjBWN4VVbPqj5QgOJJUKAy2E6LDzHTiWOd5sMq_ZyrmoBO4ml_qoDRrBExJ9TqtVxSbbFITqf2Ne9bucFLdw_rGiucbuYIV2oDL7aApgIsYHr0UQ7OyeQq2Eo3pe3kzISC626MBWbtmTZDpIRVJ1rmvLW3HqGbUUYMRywV5HdkVIdyrXDzHeDoJqaR9uu2T9zxPqdsqvfYTFVW8r908okPYjidm2aqNK9vOhDODrHmGfINsNLj4Kt_wGHgpZAM89e0wOQTPnwgjrw3nmpftUhTtXZ3Q5s91mJ_VFTZFw9XPE5hH6h62l_GGWRNnuf88thIQjcOCftrpOphwUXjYTUA0FQ/
