about

before this band I was not a good person.I cheated on every girlfriend I had, stole what wasn't mind and was a world class liar. I hurt some truly amazing people. I damaged greatness. But what kept me from becoming that monster permanently was those that believed in me. That never gave up. My parents, brothers and cousins never lost site who I really was even when I was acting out the monster. Without those people I would have given up on myself a long time ago and it seems overdramatic but I would be dead. This song is a thank you to them. Because to believe a monster has good in his heart is brave. You are the brave for believing on me. In us. Thank you all for never giving up. That monsters dead because of you.

lyrics

29 yrs I'm finally feeling stronger
No more list to tell me how many times I fall
self destruction becomes outward assurance
That burning bridges is no longer my style
As soon as I admit I knew nothing
About just how far I've come
From the coward I once was
The liar became the truth
The thief is now the giver
The unfaithfuls now the steadfast
I'm not a rare exception
I learned to be me from all of you
The teachers in this world

I don't have this figured out
I've got learning yet to do
I'm still afraid for what's ahead
But I'm willing to see this through

I use to think I was the image
Under a pile of broken glass
I know now I am the fist
That shattered my self inflicted past

I'm still trying to be the man
My father is and was
Through it all my mother says
I always knew that you could be so brave

My friends and brothers
Never gave up on me
each time I fall they say
I always knew that you could be so brave
I always knew that you could be so humble
Your not to man that you use to be
So Get up get on your feet

Unless I say I'll never ever mean it
Unless I scream it it will never be heard
Because of you I'm the person I never thought I could be in this life time

You never gave up on me
Because of you

I am the brave

This is to those who seen the gold inside me
This is to those who pulled even when I pushed
The ones who held my head above fire

This is to those who saved a father
From becoming so much less than he could be
This is to those who saved a husband
From becoming just another tragedy
