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.
We've carried each other through and over the seas.
We live for nights like this.
The ones we won't forget. 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.

When this CD came out, I was in a deep depression & this album helped me feel understood.
This is life changing music that's for sure.
sameee
just artsy things this came out when i was in jail and the local college station played the shit out of this song. Definitely helped me get thru those 2 years.
This specific song helped me get through my "months under gray skies". Their message is really touching, I'll never be able to see this band the same way after this
just artsy things their 3 lyric video series came out just weeks after my lifelong best friend killed him self fighting depression. ABR was his favorite band and what started our friendship freshman year. Died right before my 25th bday. This album brought me to tears i couldn't shed at his funeral
just artsy things I agree with you 100%I was going through the same thing in this album changed me a lot help me get through a lot of messed up stuff stay strong girl wish the best of luck to you hope you have a good life
I haven't been okay for a long time. I've lost everything, my friends, my marriage, my home, my job, I'm currently laying on 2 inch thick mattress over concrete. I don't know how much I can keep hanging on, how much longer I can keep fighting. I remember listening to this song when it first came out, unable to relate to the lyrics but now..now it's the only thing I feel I can relate to. I doubt you guys will ever read this but I guess I'm here to just say thank you. Thank you for helping me feel not so alone on the especially hard nights such as this one. It's kind of funny, I come back here when I feel I'm not strong enough to see tomorrow as if this song itself is enough to get me by if not for just another day. Maybe it is enough..
Man I hope things get much much much better for you 😭
One day at a time.
I pray you are still going on with your life. Raise your head high and never give up no matter how bleak life may feel. We love you.
Damn bro
Its ok to feel
If it's necessary to crawl, we crawl to push through.
This album is called Rescue & Restore for a reason.
Over the years this album has definitely restored my faith, the feeling to live, the mere light in my eyes shine brighter with every last dose of hope I drink in.
“Never surrender, the dream you had for this world, to love, to forgive. To make something out of nothing.”
This album definitely helped me turn nothing into something.
Thank you ABR, I surely needed that.
When anyone tells me metal is all negative and is meaningless noise I'll show them this album. There are so many songs that touch on a deep level. It's so beautiful. They can maintain a certain amount of heaviness while also being light with their sound at times. I find it an art to maintain a metal sound and still be so touching and real. There are those that will say this isn't metal but I really don't care if they do, I find it great no matter what genre people say they are.
+Moonbath216 I completely agree.
I dropped out of an Ivy League school (Cornell) due to an anxiety and depression issue, potentially the most debilitating combination of disorders I'v ever had to face head on (started at 19).
They are very real, and very terrifying. Sometimes REM will literally turn into a slew of nightmares, choking in your sleep becomes normal, fearing sunrise gets you an immediate membership into The Lost Boys. Above it all, trying to schedule my anti-depressants in a way that I could booze after my Paxil had metabolized, and blasting uppers (namely coke or MDMA).
I'm currently 25, still taking 30mg of Paxil daily, my best advice to anyone out there still suffering from anxiety or depression, KEEP YOURSELF BUSY, get a gym membership, pick up an instrument, book, find a genre of music worth exploring (Grab a guitar, a drum set, a keyboard, a mic or a mixer and the most recent version of Logic).
After I dropped out of Cornell, all of my friends were enjoying residence in McGill, Guelph, Western, Laurier and U ofT. In the meantime I was living in my parents basement, I would sleep for 12-20 hours a day, and for a MOMENT I FELT MY SELF SMILING, AS IF THOSE SHORT RAYS OF LIGHT WERE ENOUGH TO GET ME BY, THANK GOD...I SURELY NEEDED THIS.
* After the Burial "Disconnect", The Ghost Inside " White Light",
Have a listen! Miss this.

Couple of good tracks for anyone that read this entire thing, feel free to message me personally. It's been a long road out of hell but I'm glad to help anyone struggling!

Jm Cresencie Fun sidenote on the "Comprehend this kind of complex music"! Metal fans were actually found to have the most in common with fans of classical music (which kinda explains why a lot of metal bands use classical instruments I guess haha), in regards of appreciating innovation, complexity and multiple layers!
Found the link!
mic.com/articles/87385/science-reveals-something-surprising-about-metal-fans-and-classical-music-lovers#.WVRWLX7N1
very well said, i try to do the same! very misunderstood genre.
I have always enjoyed the responses to my comment but never gotten to respond. I'm glad others feel the same, you all constantly remind me why I made my initial comment. We all can bask in the beauty and greatness of this song. Others can say what they want about metal but we know exactly how much this song, and all the music of ABR, means to us.
I love absence of hate in ABR's video comments. They have some of the most inspirational lyrics. They're amazing and underappreciated.
Now watch me ruin it. Core isn't metal.
LOL
I wish that was true in my friend's band's comment section
@@khorn102 don’t care
@@khorn102yet bands that are highly inspired by hardcore punk are considered metal. I don’t understand elitists
FOR A MOMENT I FELT MYSELF SMILING
found*
React DF
From having a deep depression in highschool, I was 15 when this album was released to overcoming that depression, growing up, meeting a women at 20, having a family, falling inlove, eventually being heartbroken & unable to see my children. I am coming back to this, because this is the only song that speaks about what I can’t, as a man who’s had his spirit broken, I am still Trying to see my children wether it be sending them things here & there, making little visits whenever I can. Especially so close to Xmas. This hits harder than a fucking Mac truck. Thank you ABR for making such amazing & empowering music, I WILL SURVIVE ANOTHER MONTH UNDER GRAY SKIES!
IM LITERALLY CRYING THIS SONG IS SO GOOD
Your not alone dude.
A7X's self titled and August burns red's rescue and restore are two albums id include in a top 10
I am because I'm homeless and it's hitting me pretty hard. Spirit broken.
Yess
As am I.
Amazing, I literally cried near the end because those lyrics and that melody found it's way to my exact emotions and thoughts, "For a moment I found myself smiling, as if those short rays of light were enough to get me by." For these past months I've felt like I've been living under gray thunderous skies, but some days when the sun shines and I look into the sky, I feel re-assured again, this song made me realize that completely. Amazing band and amazing album for sure, love this band
ugh my entire family, everyone from brothers to far off cousins listen to mainstream pop and bash on me for listening to this type of music, and it gets tiring. If only they would read the lyrics, listen to the instruments, and feel what this man is screaming...but all they do is hear and not listen, so all they hear is noise! It truly is a shame most people can't appreciate this awesome music...
well said man!
CobjayGuitar +1 :)
Gah how do you +1 from the TH-cam app. :'c
Blue Hour dude..... spot fucking on......
You speak words of wisdom
For a moment I found my self smiling
As if the chords of this song were enough
To get me by.
Maybe this song was enough.
Thank you ABR, I surely needed this.
I cry every time I listen to this song! Never fails...
+Jessica Carlisle I feel you
That "letter" he says towards the end of the song is just so well written. You can almost hear his pain through it and then that little ray of hope at the end of it is just amazingly written. ABR is an amazing Christian metalcore band! Keep blessing us with your music
This song was written by Brent, it's about being on tour and battling depression being away from his wife and child, and relying on his faith to pull through.
This song has helped me through some rough times.
ive listened to this song so many times over the past years and i still get goosebumps at 3:50 every single time i hear this song
The song that started it all for me. And it's almost been a decade. Their 10 year anniversary of this album will be so utterly damn important to me I hope you all in the comments pack that tour out.
YESSSS I'm going to it in Orlando. I've seen them 5 times and if they want to see a grown man cry, this song right here will do it lol
I loved this song before. The guitars were amazing.
I loved this song even more after that. The lyrics were so good.
Now I love this song even more now that I understand it better. Right now August Burns Red is one of the very few things making me smile.
But I've been here before. I will survive another day under these gray skies.
To me, this sounds like a song about recovery in a ward. That was exactly what I felt like when I was horribly depressed, and that letter sounded like those I wrote back then.
words cannot describe how good this bad is..
Been going through a spell lately. Everything has seemed to crash around me: my job, my lifestyle, my relationships, everything. I tried to end it months ago but had to keep going. Its gotten worse. I lost touch with my roots and my influences. I had seen the lord before, on top of a mountain in NC where ABR was headlining. The sun was high, a storm approached, and the music/lord hit me. I burst into tears and stumbled into the woods next to a stream. Hearing this now made me remember. TY ABR.
From someone that suffers from depression this song makes me have hope for another day
This song is so powerful. Thank you so much August Burns Red, there are days when this song literally keeps me alive. I won't give up.
I hope things get better for you, Mitchell, let's get through this !! ;-;
Fuck, man... That little speech.
I really hope that the people that found this song found it when they needed it most and they no longer "need" it. I hope they have moved past the song's necessity and come back for the nostalgia, to cherish, and to have gratitude for what they have gained since. That is why I came back, I wish the same for you.
Well said, brother.
Thank you. It is just like you say, I'm no longer in depression as I used to be when I heard this song for the first time...
Seeing drugs take away the person you love the most is the hardest thing I ever had to deal with.
Thank goodness now I'm with someone that loves me and cares for me. But every back and then I come back to this beautiful song just for a little nostalgia.
The spoken word portion of this song gets me every time. Having personally struggled with depression it’s painfully relatable.
When 3:51 hits all the worries in the world go away and the song is my reality! i love August Burns Red!
that part of the song makes me just sit back and absorb the sound
physically i actually have never felt so good in my life
fuckin agree with you man
Satin Luvs U ABR just gives you the feels like no other band, and I was disappointed with the cover of wrecking ball but hey atleast its not an original. Because the songs they have are just epic!♡
this band is what gets me through. when hell breaks loose, this is what i rely on to keep going.
So true. I've never related to a song as much as i do with this one
All my hunger for metal is satisfied with ABR; I don't really listen to other bands so I guess I'm not a true metalhead, but their music is too good to not be enjoyed
John Miller Even if you don’t like much metal after ABR, you still appreciate the genre and it shows you have taste in different styles of music.
War wages is good too
Architects.
When this album came out I was so deep in my heroin addiction and I thought there was no hope for me. This song spoke to me about what I was going through and helped me during my recovery journey. It's still as relevant today as it was back then. Still gives me chills every time I listen to it! ❤❤🔥🤘
My personal favorite by this band.
Soooo freaking good
This song is so full and heavenly.It's so full of meat to really sink your teeth into.That's what I love about ABR,the depth of their music.It's music,not just noise.You can't see it,but you can definitely feel it and hear it
A few years back I was conceited inside my room, I had nothing to do. Just wake up, be on my phone and absolutely no social life. And things weren't going well in my family life. This song helped me a lot, as I could relate to it. Words can't describe how exhausted and depressed my mind was. But this song sure does spoke for me! Thank you, August Burns Red!
Well, I've been listening to them for quite a while, but always despised Spirit Breaker because I thought it was a depressing song...but damn dude, it's arguably the best song in the album. Well done ABR, and thank you for producing such music that WILL affect people's life.
I always thought the same. I might be interpreting it wrong but I've come to think it's talking about being depressed and everything being monotonous until you discover those small things in life that help you get by and to break out of depression. I've likened this song to caging yourself up like a bird and finally setting yourself free. This song has helped me a lot in the past year.
oh how i relate the feelings he describing in this song makes me cry most of the times. glad to be able to meet Jake. thanks for relating
This album, especially this song, got me through one of the darkest and lowest times in my life as a teenager. Bands like ABR are hero’s. I was grateful for their powerful messages in this album.❤️
I like coming on abr videos because the comments are filled with interesting stories of hardship. Makes me appreciate what I have
These lyrics are exactly what i felt last year. I was sleeping an hour per night for several months and was in serious pain when awake. ''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.'' I was thinking of ending it all but things do get better and I'm still here.
Tomi Stenqvist You are not alone my friend. I'm very glad you are still here with us. A lot of people are feeling the same as you did and we all have to keep fighting. In the end it is always worth it. Things will definetely get better!
Keep it up!
From 3:51 on this song gives me a feeling no other song ever could.
That feeling you get when you see something precious and beautiful in front of you, and you find yourself powerless to stop it as you watch it fall.
8 years later and this song is still getting me by...
they allways haave the best breakedowns
Their transitions from distortion to clean is always fucking amazing.. but this clean part gets me everytime moreso than the other videos of the rescue and restore trilogy
3:51 gave me a full five minutes of chills........
4 years later, still my favorite song, and my favorite album
When people hear this kind of music they think its always about hatred, killing, rebeling, worshiping satan and ect.
What they fail to understand is that if the band does it correctly, the amount of emotion the singer can show and connect to the listener is amazing!
This genre of music can speak to the soul easily. Out of all the genre of music i listen to this is the only one that i feel can connect to the pain a lot of people feel.
3:02 reminds me of my pet snail. RIP 2-14-2015
When jake stopped screaming and spoke those words I almost lost it. I wish I could meet these guys. I know a lot of people say that they have saved their lives, and the only reason why they say it is because its nothing less of the truth. If I ever saw these guys I would cry on their shoulders. They saved my life and I could never stop being so grateful.
Such an Amazingly *Beautiful* song and album. Goosebumps. Tears. ABR IS LIFE, the feeling I get from this band NO OTHER have given. It's incredible the catalog they have left behind so far and I'm so damn happy I was there from the jump. As I was in 2 different bands when Thrill Seeker came out myself. Driving around in a brand new srt4 at 21 at the time. With a baddie on my side. Playing shows all over the NJ/NY/Mass tri-state as well as Pa. Man do I miss those days so much. ABR helps bring me back to such a simpler time. It pulls on my heart
Thank god, I surely needed that...
This song gives me so many feels...I ooze out my eyes
I didn't like this song at first but the lyrics, especially at the end, really got to me. This song is truly a gem.
No matter how beautiful the song and lyrics it always brings back so many memories when I was with my ex . The nostalgia feels good but at the same time I just miss her :/
The Father is real, whatever happens in the end times never forget God is not causing it but man himself.
God is there to help us through it, ABR, good job in keeping the faith :)
Whenever I'm under gray skies I listen to this song. It saves me since 2013, thank ABR, I needed that.
This song is my alarm clock it's that good. It wakes me up and gets me pumped for the day
this saved me then as well... I'm biased for this song ever since
yes, i am writng two comments...i just have to say that this is an exceptional video..in all aspects...the lyrics,the energy, the passion, the intensity, the clarity, the music, the screaming, the art work, the design, the 'dove'...the message...it's like a beginning of a renaissance of expression...love it.
This song, just now, was my rays of light, in my gray skies days. Thank God
I surely needed this song
All I can think of when I hear this song is a blue space cow charging across the dota map.
heh you got that right
This song is epic. One of the best songs I have ever heard. Anyone can relate. Brings tears to my eyes. This is why ABR is one of the best bands out there and one of my personal favorites.
The lyrics abr writes are so powerful. I can’t remember the last time I was moved to tears by a song. Especially by one with so much energy behind the instruments and the vibe of the song. The instrumentals are amazing during that spoken word part. And they resonate with us all who have been in a rut. The last part of the song hits so hard after that, truly a masterpiece. Very inspiring lyrics as well. Thank you August Burns Red for your beautiful thoughts and music
I love the strings in the intro. I love Dustins bass bridge at :54 and his high screams. JB's riffs at 1:21 is awesome. Brent is the pefect rhythm guitarist, that allows JB to be such a amazing lead guitarist. Matt is the best drummer ever (no disrespect to Neil Peart). And Jake is the best Vocalist, and Lyricist in Metal history.
when it gets to the speaking part, does anyone else notice that the house from the Leveler album cover is in the background?
Yes!
For a moment i saw myself smiling.......🙂
i surely needed that
This album is gonna help me alot i can feel it. These two songs i relate to alot. God bless ABR
So many in my Family destroyed by Cancer. I needed this, Thank god.
When I was 17 years old I had 11 feet of my bowels removed due to Crohns Disease. I have a extreme fear of having bowels removed and feared what it would do to me, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. I became extremely depressed and attempted to kill myself a month after the surgery. This song personifies my state of mind after my attempted suicide (by hanging myself. Rope broke) "staring at the walls to pass the time, pinch myself to make sure I'm still alive. I'm not alright it's just become a disguise. Family and friends I'm loosing all ties, another month under these grey skies I'm holding on as tight as I can."
+David Smith I'm sorry to hear that you have had a rough experience. I too live in sleep-depriving fear - for different reasons, but the same pain. It's been a long journey. You re NOT alone, brother. I'm so thankful that rope broke. Hell, your comment is the "short rays of light" that are enough to get me by. Thank God, I needed this.
My gf had pretty much everything removed. Hope you’re out there doing better man!
Listening this during the 2020 quarantine. Trying to stay strong.
tbh i have never realised how much this song actually correlated to lockdown. This song suddenly has a new meaning to me.
every time the first verse get on, I have goosebump!!
I'm not that religious, but I think that, in this moment I've found myself crying singing the lyrics. I've become through though moments this year, maybe this is the hardest one in my life. Friends have gone and I've ended relationships because I got little time cause of my career. This is my last year of medschool and I'm still struggling of letting go people in my life cause I got little time for that, even for a relationship, which makes the thing even sadder. And listening to this is like, maybe, just maybe, i felt that "god's touch" that some people have in their lives. Maybe that was enough, finding myself screaming the lyrics and smiling to get myself by, and it surely was enough to make me cry and realize that I needed that. If god trully exists, thank you, I surely needed that :')
He does exist my friend. He finds ways to get you to listen. And music is one of em. I listen to it to get my depression away from me
17 down, 17 to go... That was my thought exactly. Two years later I'm infinitely happier. 15 to go. Who knows what 10 to go will bring, six to go, two to go. Here's to hoping "two to go" is around the same time I say, "Two for here, please."
the ending of this is beautiful
Pure beauty. ABR will make a grown man tear up I tell you what
It's hard to find the motivation when you're this drained, but I'm used to feeling this way 3:24 ~
This song relate s to me so much.
Just want to throw this comment out here that, for one of my music classes in college, we're able to bring in a piece of music for the class for extra credit and I brought in "Majoring in the Minors", and automatically people tuned it out because it just sounds like screams to them... if only they knew what this band, and songs like this by them truly got me through in life... god bless ABR.
I love them for this level of intensity, and they will be known a long time even if they stop making music. This band is glorious in their way of playing and writing and they improve always. They will always be one of my favorite bands.
hands down the best song by ABR
I miss this old solid state feel.
I personally think they just want evolve their music and not have it sound the same. Their songs are more melodic now but it still feels very much like August Burns Red.
true
The meaning to this song is so fucking beautiful. Not only is it coming from a personal experience, but any one can relate on their own level.
Well, this song has been on repeat all day long. Can't get enough.
It seems impossible but 46 people accidentally hit the dislike button
They just couldn't see because they were crying too hard
I've been there logan lol.
EXTOL!
Yoooo
My mind's collapsing from homesickness and these lyrics are extremely relatable. Thank you August burns red, from the bottom of my heart 🙏
In two days, I'll be finishing OSUT here at miserable Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. THIS SONG was my anchor through the worst of times in training! I was so glad I had a fellow metalhead in my platoon; we bonded over meaningful music like this
I WILL SURVIVE \m/ \m/
Praise God!
Nah.
lol, not your typical church hymn is it
Mark Hopper It sure is an interesting one.
Man.....I keep discovering gems from this band. The absolute saviors of metalcore, lets see if Parkway Drive can keep up!
The spoken word in this song and Beauty in Tragedy choke me up so bad. Two of the greatest songs they have ever composed.
I think this song is about drug addiction
john van ryken how so?
Drew Mexidepp listen to that little thing they talk
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.
The song sounds more as if it is geared towards military and deployment life, keying in on the depression and struggle that comes with being gone from home for long periods at a time. Not being able to see your loved ones and families; looking for something that was enough to hold on to and give him hope, like thinking of home and his love often. The short rays of light to get him by.
I remember back in the summer of 2013 being crippled with anxiety and doubt because I was months away from being a brand new father for the first time. My girlfriend and myself decided to move in with each other because it was for the best and to prep for the baby on the way. I never told her but I’d constantly obsess at the thought of me failing as a father and that I wasn’t cut out for it.
That summer in June Rescue and Restore dropped and it was the soundtrack to pull me out of that way of thinking. This album right here was literally my medicine. It helped me so damn much to calm my uneasiness.
Anyway my son was born later that year in November and that girlfriend ended up being my wife. We now have two children.
I appreciate ABR so much.
🧡
Thank you ABR for making me not feel like I'm alone in this world.
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 dedicate this song to my disease and all the months it's had me in the hospital now..
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
I was an atheist when I first heard this song when it came out. I was in high school thinking I was a know it all lol. Since then, I joined the navy, did 6 years and got out. Despite my change in taste of music, ABR has never failed to end up in my playlist. This song hits differently now that I’m older and actually appreciate the lyrics and the hard work ABR puts into their craft. This song really takes me back and i can see how much I’ve grown since then and I’m working to continuously grow and improve always. I’ve learned so much in life and despite all the challenges I’ve faced, I’ve always persevered and this song helps me remember how much I’ve accomplished. Nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it and ask God for strength.
man, reading the lyrics while listening really makes this song even better. i liked it the first time i heard it, but now i freaking love it
ive been listening to this song for over a year. Seeing this video now made me burst into tears because this is how i am right now. losing ties feeling down. i couldnt explain to friends and family what was going on with me yet these lyrics man... these lyrics
Soooooo excited to hear this song live at CBR 2023. So thankful for ABR
I remember being like 13 and listening to this song over and over again for comfort. I’m 18 now and am listening to it again for the first time in years. Still as amazing as I remember. This song is such a blessing.
The way he sings literally just the word "smiling," so fucking emotionally powerful and I don't even know why.
11/10 masterpiece of a song and album. There's maybe 5 albums in existence that I can say that about.
