Spirit Breaker Lyrics
Staring at the walls to pass the time
Pinch myself make sure I’m still alive
I’m not allright, 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
Another month under gray skies, gray skies
I’m holding on as tight as I can
The monotony never seems to end
Everyday feels the same
Everyday I think about the place
I’d rather be than here
I’ve been here before, I will survive
Another month under these gray skies [x2]
We’ve carried each other
Through and over the seas, over seas
We live for nights like this
The ones we wont forget
Forever remembered [x2]
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 allright, It’s become a disguise
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 a motivation when you are this drained
My body aches but I’m used to feeling this way
17 down, 17 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 2
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
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 surely needed that
Pinch myself make sure I’m still alive
I’m not allright, It’s become a disguise
Friends and family, I'm losing all ties
Pinch myself make sure I’m still alive
I’ve been here before. I will survive
Another month under gray skies
Another month under gray skies, gray skies
The monotony never seems to end
Everyday feels the same
Everyday I think about the place
I’d rather be than here
Another month under these gray skies [x2]
Through and over the seas, over seas
The ones we wont forget
Forever remembered [x2]
I’m throwing it all away
I hope to open my eyes to see this moment
That I should treasure forever
Pinch myself make sure I’m still alive
I’m not allright, It’s become a disguise
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
Even more so than yesterday
How that’s possible I don’t even know
Nor do I want to
It’s hard to find a motivation when you are this drained
My body aches but I’m used to feeling this way
17 down, 17 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 2
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
As if those short rays of light
Were enough to get me by
Maybe that was enough
Thank God, I surely needed that

This song is about Jake Luhrs recovery from addiction and the moment when he knew he was going to make it. In my opinion, it is the best song on Rescue and Restore, and by far the most telling of anything ABR has recorded.
To me, this song gives me so much strength and reminds me to hold on and not surrender, even when it feels like everything is falling down around me and my world is crumbling. It's hard to see the light when you're so far down it feels like you can't escape, but this song is a reminder that things always get better.
Hands down, one of my all time favorite ABR songs.
