lyrics

I hope today you stay away, 'cause I might break,
Down here it’s drawing near and I know no escape.
I still feel pain, it’s burning through each move I make,
And I’m so sorry for not believing you, it’s my one big mistake.

When we were just two little kids, you burned in me.
And I’ve lived through all of those nightmares you went through with me.
I couldn’t stay with you as far as you would go,
And now I’m learning how you got there and I will follow.

I’m a martyr, I’m a martyr, make myself a martyr for you,
And it was harder, it was harder before they made me forced to face the truth,
And they can break my bones and break my skin,
they won’t break my soul since you got in,
I won’t falter, I won’t falter, just help me get through this.

I feel your pain, your suffering, but I have you.
And I don’t know how you got through this, I wish I’d been with you.
I miss you. I’m forced to face that every day.
As they bleed into one, but they won’t ever break me.

How Long
by The Tower And The Fool

Passionate and honest acoustic indie rock, this album is like an emotional gutpunch to me - in the best way possible. Down In Autumn

Jar
by Superheaven

I listened to few albums more in 2013 than this gem. A throwback to that great 90s grunge-rock sound, I never get tired of listening to these songs. Down In Autumn

Mare Vitalis
by The Appleseed Cast

This is an absolute classic, and you can get it for nothing, which is kinda criminal, but also means you have no excuse. Fishing The Sky in particular is a masterpiece. Down In Autumn
