LYRICS:
Some days I feel like a loaded gun
I paint a target on everyone
Get off your knees cuz I'm telling you
What's done is done
What will you do?
Will you run?
You think you're running away
I think you're running in place
Run!
I've never seen you this way
Do not pray for an easy life
Search for the strength to walk the line
I see a hope that's hard to find
So don't run away
Away
Some days I feel like I'm fucking done
I'm waging war against everyone
It's killing me like it's killing you
What's done is done
What will you do?
Will you run?
You think you're running away
I think you're running in place
Run!
I've never seen you this way
Do not pray for an easy life
Search for the strength to walk the line
I see a hope that's hard to find
So don't run away
Away
This ends tonight
Do not pray for an easy life
Search for the strength to walk the line
I see a hope that's hard to find
So don't run away
Away

Still listening in 2019??? We're pressing "Rise" to vinyl LP, it'll be available in August! You can get it (and Wires vinyl) here: www.merchbucket.com/collections/a-skylit-drive

[@skrmnghrd4520]

ofcouse I'm still listening, this song is sentimental, I always play this to my 1 year and 3 month old daughter and she would just calm down and listen (ofcourse the volume is really soft). I hope she's doing fine now. This always leaves me teary eyed, may it be acoustic or not.

[@belyndatorres2839]

I just saw them at Warped Tour 2014 and I also saw them play at the Self Help Fest. They are amazing live and worth your time. The amount of energy that they put out to the crowd is unparalleled to most bands out there. So even if you can't handle listening to them through your head phones, give them a listen in person because I guarantee you will get caught up in the show!

[@BetweenTwoShores]

Wow, I forgot how good this song is. I can't imagine how good it's gonna be on their new record Rise: Ascension.

[@fironfiron8843]

What are some good ones?

[@yogabbagabba2202]

Can’t forget rise even higher ascension upwards

[@clfvcknr]

it gives me goosebumps in "i see a hope that's hard to find". Jag's voice, the instruments and the phrase are perfect! playing this song forever man

[@TragicHeroRecords]

Thanks! That's what i've been working so hard to get across to people! We don't have the largest roster right now, but our bands are the most true to themselves and their fans! A Skylit Drive, ERRA, He Is Legend, Everyone Dies IN Utah, and Sleep City! All great albums by all great bands. Plenty of more great music to come!

[@4CC1D3NTAL]

The chorus to this song is so inspiring to me and it's so catchy ! It's so damn good

[@Lexy4eva1]

"Get down on your knees and show me how you please." 13 songs and one album later "Get off your knees cuz I'm telling you." You have us all on a tight leash here Jag :D

[@TragicHeroRecords]

The labels who do it right have just as much to gain or lose with every release. Not every label is a multi-million dollar business, or has been at it for 15-20+ years. I was lucky enough to start with this band, and to be working with them right now, and trust me when I say we all work just as hard, and have just as much invested as they do.

[@cateatfood6634]

Such a shame that you don't have a like or reply on this comment.

[@mysteryskater1875]

I saw a skylit drive,memphis May fire, hands like houses,bear tooth,and the word alive this past Sunday in Raleigh they were bad ass

[@TragicHeroRecords]

The full line of text reads: "RISE" The Title Track From A SKYLIT DRIVE'S New Album Available August 8th. So it's just the single that will be available then. Th album is still slated for the 24th of Sept.

[@Gnesao]

I've been a fan of A Skylit Drive for a really long time, and they're one of the very few bands that continue to evolve in a good direction. I hope these guys never stop making music, because this is fantastic.

[@kanelwatson5459]

I love this song

[@TOWEOatmeal]

I honestly have loved every single album these guys have produced. They do what a lot of bands don't, and embrace changes in their songs -- which is an incredibly bold move. If you can't learn to accept the changes they've made in their styles, then there are thousands of other bands you can listen to.

[@Eisen199]

It was definitely worth the wait since Identity on fire. Rarely a band before made this sentence so true

[@TragicHeroRecords]

The full sentence at the beginning is saying that "RISE" the title track is available on Aug 8. the full album is available 9/24. Sorry for the confusion.

[@Rawnchie14]

Didn't dig them prior, but this sounds better - more up my alley

[@joseriveraejro]

My words can't describe how much I love these guys and their music.

[@MyShadowsDie]

"Some days I feel like I'm fucking done" YES, this lyric alone is my favorite, I'm glad that they have gone this direction with this album! Will definitely buy on iTunes!!

[@RWAFFLENoob]

Im in love with this whole entire album

[@kyledormer4572]

ASD don't deserve half the hate they get

This song is SO good. Really refreshing to hear. My bands playing with them the Austin date of tour, cant wait to hear this live

[@morrisbernsten7288]

jesus these guys just get better and better, I love hearing them progress from cd to cd. jags vox have improved so much over the years. can't wait for the new cd.

[@dragulia_venaro]

Did anyone heard Mike's voice becomes girly at *"I see a hope that's hard to find",* too? XD

[@andrieanthony8376]

yup. great. love it.

[@Cheesybumbus]

try out some of their older stuff. very girly, but very good

[@ALEX_1.365]

instead of calling his voice a label like "girly", lets open our mind and acknowledge that there are many guys with higher pitched voices out there as well women with lower pitched voices, which doesnt make them "manly". There are different voices out there.

[@dragulia_venaro]

Dimash Kudaibergen is the most highest vocal singer that I only know.. But he doesn't sound like a girl.. I don't hate a guy doing a girl voice tho, I even following *Rynalli* on youtube, and watch all of his omegle pranks

[@MaxwellPuffdaddy]

So keen to finally see these guys when they come to Australia. Hope they play this!

WOOO WARPED TOUR 2014 FUCK YES!!!!

What a coincidence .. Well, I just came here from *“You're not alone”* music videos

[@EthericDreaming]

I am so glad to hear Michael Jagmin sing more and use his beautiful voice in all of its unique ranges. This is going to e their best album. RISE IS THE TRUTH. You guys rock, thanks for creating this art ASD & TRAGIC HERO RECORDS. You make me happy!

[@aerocorpse]

still obsessed

[@aerocorpse]

Haven't heard this song since 7 years ago holy crap hahaha I'm drunk lmfao in my friends drive way all by myself haha nothing really has changed lol

[@Lexy4eva1]

Jag's extremely high voice is what makes A Skylit Drive different. I like it and I'm sure most people will agree. I don't understand and I don't really want to understand why some people are saying that they finally grew some balls. I'm just really glad that they're finally releasing a new album after about 2 years. They've obviously worked hard on it and I for one will be buying the album for sure.

[@Tipsy_C2H5OH]

Who in here 2024?

[@ALEX_1.365]

I live for the "I see a hope thats hard to find" part!!

I'm so excited for Warped Tour. c':

Just google Vans Warped Tour and check on the website. (:

Me to seeing them July 17th at Wraped this is only one of the many bands I am pumped to see!

[@TakeOnNE1]

i missed them and WCAR at warped. :(

[@StlClanHD]

You and me both girl friend

[@TheFalacy]

Welcome to 2013, 2009 A Skylit Drive. I'm happy to have you guys back! This is music I can defend.

[@Darthecus]

this style is so much better than their old one XD

[@Artasahorizon]

i love how the most popular comments are people saying how surprised at how good it sounds and how they grew some balls. if you dont like them dont watch the videos. cmon kids

+Soraya Nadia their old stuff isnt really like this

[@traptik8869]

+Soraya Nadia Listen to wires and the concept of breathing, its their best album

[@bronx26time]

I have literally traveled the country to watch them and they are amazing.

[@xyungmoney12x]

Warped is going to be so epic..

[@ItsRainingTrees]

Now I have to fucking buy tickets tho

[@LastTrueGamer]

I love it!!! My new favorite ASD song! I like that you guys focus on creating beautiful melodies instead of just pounding the power cords 1000 times per song and monotonously screaming non-stop like most post-hardcore bands. I've always admired that about you guys! Genuine artists!

[@valouruk9413]

I used to hate this band, but holy crap.

[@Look2TheSky101]

Same here man, but this song alone has gotten me hooked onto them and their new album

[@vxnzeal1614]

ya same here lol... but like the other guy this song got me hooked lol

[@Dylanj5333]

Shit taste. their old albums are better

[@mccroney]

I so totally agree with you. His voice was one of the main reasons i like these in the first place. Dont get me wrong i knew it wouldnt last forever, but i still like them.

[@alternative_ASMR]

Not as good as old stuff but still pretty good!

[@LuViiCo]

I wouldn't want a skylit drive to change. I fell in love with THEIR sound. Can't wait for the new album

[@Blo0dredRidingHo0d]

Don't compare a skylit drive to bands like sleeping with sirens, I guarantee these guys will sound better than system of a down live...

[@DerKrazyKrautGaming]

Saw them live, pretty sick

[@Adovock]

OOooooooo don't compare ASD to SoaD live lol. System just sounds insane live, easily one of the best sounding ever. If we're only looking at live sound, I'd put them up their with Iron Maiden. SoaD doesn't move a lot, but their song is spot on perfection.

[@halokitten187x4]

Adovock I know it's late but I agree!

[@Adovock]

Halo Kitten Thanks for having my back! I do love ASD, but it's just hard to get the sound up to that level. Comparing them to SoaD shows they know at least a bit of what they're talking about, so that's okay :) Just a passionate fan haha.

[@halokitten187x4]

No problem =)

[@xiaodhanan1]

OMFGG ASD FOREVAAA ! LOVE THECHORUS MELODY !

[@metalsoccerfan]

Elegant, simple, but maybe too simple. I know they lost a member so I think is a good record, it is always hard to adjust when your dynamic changes

[@TheSYN6661]

I've been a fan ever since I saw them for their EP release show at The Boardwalk in Orangvale, CA and looks like I'm still going to remain a loyal fan. ASD fails to disappoint!

[@kurtisbray]

who's singing at the strt?

[@2mONsTEr11]

Jag..Who else

[@kurtisbray]

Mordin Solus hes changed so much

[@megshush]

kurtisbray Yeah his voice isn't as high pitched anymore.

[@Sion6]

It's Jag. He's just using a different style. It doesn't mean his voice has lowered or whatever. He still hits plenty of highs on the new album. He has a very wide vocal range and has just been making more use of his lower range on this album.

[@iloveredheads95]

I have the biggest smile on my face right now!!!! THE WAIT IS OVER!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

[@danmooney1906]

People keep constantly telling me how "awesome" A Skylit Drive is and I've tried countless times to give them a chance but I just cannot get into them. In all honesty I don't like post-hardcore in general they're just glorified pop rock bands. I listen to real Metal Angela Gossow and Alissa White-Gluz sound manlier than A Skylit Drive Pierce the Veil or any other emo pop rock poser band

[@TakeOnNE1]

cool story neckbearded virgin elitist.

[@xRECONCILEDX]

lol'd you said real metal.

[@FrankReynolds182]

I didn't know metal (or any genre for that matter) had to sound manly.

[@TakeOnNE1]

OMGtheLasersPewPew mad neckbeard.

[@FrankReynolds182]

OMGtheLasersPewPew wait, I'm the mlp fan here, and I said nothing regarding his opinion. :P I just don't think metal has to be manly.

[@BEARGRYLLS619]

This sounds like a whole new level of professionalism vocally, i can't wait for Rise to come out.

[@daveycakes12]

band used to be a lot better, so generic sounding now.

[@tatechapman4720]

Listening to one song from each band for warped. Looked them up. So glad that I did.

[@Look2TheSky101]

"You think you're running away, I think you're running in place" gives me the freakin chills everytime, don't know why

[@Xsw1tchedX]

I didn't know Maclemore was a DJ.....Good luck with that. Can't wait to see these guy!

[@rs-mionee]

This album sure deserves as much hype as possible, it's looking to become truly amazing

[@23TanTris]

Easily one of their best songs in my opinion. I love the quality of it! It's so good.

[@prince87x]

Just saw them perform a month ago, they were awesome live.

[@DiestroSpacecore]

A Skylit Drive doing what they know, what they do best, and refreshing their sound. Just like they did in Fallen. Can't wait to hear the full album

[@conorpsr]

Thanks for taking the time to listen and bitch! I'm looking forward to seeing them live next week :) Love this track.

[@Gremlin4771]

Tragic hero records, thank you so much for this, I leave for the army in two Weeks and was bummed out that the record was coming out while I was in training

[@Dan-Payne]

cant believe ive never given these guys a listen before.

[@taghorian1238]

Not gunna lie I was having second thoughts about what the album would sound like but holy shit this blew me away, this is a whole new level of ASD I cannot wait to hear more! Officially has made my day

[@aajvell1993]

I can't stop listening to this. I cannot wait till it is on iTunes!!! They did an amazing job and I hope the rest of this album is as awesome!

[@fonejacka21]

Awesome tune! can't wait for the album to drop now.

[@TheColorofValor]

Drown The City was on She Watched The Sky... with a different vocalist. This sounds much more like something from Wires And The Concept Of Breathing than any other record. I'm glad jag finally learned to control his voice and sings in his range while still touching some of those higher notes. It's not unique, but it also doesn't sound like MMF, Secrets or CTE...

[@MyShadowsDie]

"Some days I feel like I'm fucking done" EXACTLY, They get me and others who are fed up with unfair things in life! thank you ASD

[@newberry231]

They are one of the only bands that stay true to their music and not going the generic route. Since She Watched The Sky and Wires they have had the same sound. I think they are amazing in their own genre and I will be happy a fan.

[@missbabiful]

bands change, and their sound changes with them. No matter what ASD will always be the best. Super excited for the new album. This song and fallen are completely amazing! Loving the new sound. Loving jags deeper voice but missing the higher which i hope comes back at times! cant wait till you guys come to Michigan again!

[@Westboundandown]

very impressive, finally making a comeback I see, wasn't to pleased with the last 2 albums

[@thekidwhowantstosing]

Tragic Hero Records really give their artist freedom to their music. I don't know how music labels work but theres something different when it comes to THR bands. The music their artists create sounds really free. Created on how they want it to sound.
