Shake it off.
Pick yourself up, they say.
Your life fell apart in your hands, and you've got the scars to prove it.
It's not the first time, and they're getting deeper.
Pull it together.
Button up your shirt.
Roll down those sleeves.
Don't let them see how you've coped.
More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand.
It seems like your giving up on everything you worked for.
It's pulling you under.
It's gripping around your throat.
Life can be overwhelming,
But don't turn your back on the strongest crutch you've ever had.
They have always been there to brace your fall.
Wave goodbye to the past.
You've got your whole life to lead.
It's time to gain some ground. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/august_burns_red/composure.html ]

Happy birthday to my very best friend,
Your special day has come by again.
We had so much fun last time around,
A younger sister was someone i found.
Each year february 12 is a wonderful day,
As we march forth in our own fun way.
Just hanging around and laughing a lot,
It is truly amazing what we have got.
A friendship like ours is not easy to come by,
Often the intensity of it makes me so high.
Is our beautiful friendship really only a dream?
Sometimes it feels so unreal that i must scream.
Cries of joy and happiness galore,
And that is what i most adore.
Your infectious laughter and zest for life,
But i am there to keep you from strife.
How lucky we are to have found one another,
I couldn't spend so much time with any other.
I will always be there to watch over you,
To keep you safe and happy too.
Well my dear i wish you happy birthday once more,
An abundance of good wishes for you are in store.
A new year filled with lots of happiness and laughter,
And only the very best for you from here on after.

Its hard to put into words but it could be just about life in general and how you shouldnt let things bring you down to a low point even though for some people it has happened and you should remember that you have friends and people who will help you move on and take control of your own life, at least thats what it says to me

I could honestly not care anyless if they are religious or not. I relate to their message, whether it's the same message in an old tablet or tattered diary.

Not all of their songs have a christian meaning behind them. Listen to up against the ropes. Just because the band members are christian doesn't make their genre christian metalcore. If that were the case many other bands would be also if their members were as vocal about it as abr is. Also, part of the song is in fact about cutting. They have a full concert recorded on youtube and jake (the vocalist) points to his arm when he says "its not the first time and they're getting deeper"

If you believe in god, you believe in yourself. Simple as that

As for everyone arguing about "religion. " well, as a 21 year old young man who has done it all, cutting, drugs, sex, fights. A kid that grew up in a broken home, struggling with identity crises, popularity all the stuff that consumes so many. Bad break-ups, addictions that lose friends and family, depression so bad all you want to do is sleep. When nobody wants to hear about your problems anymore you go inside yourself and put on a fake smile. Thankfully there is someone who sees inside me and i live and breathe his presence on a daily basis. You can't see him, because you're not looking close enough. Can you see the wind? No, however you see the effects of wind as it blows. It's the same with god. You may not see him in person but you see what he's doing on a daily basis. He paints the masterpiece of love that swoons our hearts. I may not know much about life but i do know i am happier after i invited jesus into my heart then i was before, oh, once you feel the holy spirit stirring within your heart on a daily basis and all the pain is gone, well, you can't deny it after that even if you tried.

I think it's about life's problems in general. Stress, pressure, depression. Every individual is different and we all have so much we can take before we break. After we break we give up, lose hope, faith, reason and all we see is pain. This is about taking that step that leads to a better tomorrow. Letting go of yesterday and knowing jesus is always here to help us through every day.
It's not about heroin, it's about people who cut themselves. Their song "chasing the dragon" is about heroin. And idiots, they are christian. Listen to redemption, that's a worship song. Listen to paradox, he quotes proverbs. Listen to 40 nights, it's all about david and goliath. Listen to jake luhrs' testimony. Not only is it amazing, he's absolutely a man of god. Boys of fall says word for word, "he is god, we are just man. Who are we to question? " so do your research before you say they're not christian.
