I love how every member of this band has a ridiculous amount of energy while their drummer always looks like he’s too afraid to hit his kit, like he’s worried he’ll break it or something
3 years ago, at 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of tic-tac-toe. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctor said id never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU. Nuff said.
Thank you so much for your testimony, I’m a young Christian struggling with mental illness and effects of childhood trauma, your testimony really speaks to me, thank you for sharing and for the encouragement! God bless 💟
Gives me those good vibes of it being something that I'd listen to back in the early 2000's on a Saturday morning. One of those kinds of chill hang out rock songs like Avril Lavigne's complicated song.
Brother….heck yeah haha. I had this tattoo artist in San Diego doing a couple chest pieces on me bout 10 years or more ago when I was in the Navy, every minute for hours she would jam some Flyleaf.
You try your hardest to perfect your explanations You lie until they've run out of questions You can only move as fast as those in front of you And if you assume just like them, what good will it do? So find out for yourself, so your ignorance will stop bleeding through Only one thing Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you It's just a breath away you can breathe today breathe today So many lies swirling around you you're suffocating The empty space in you Steals your breath you're suffocating Logic forces me to believe in this and now I've learned to see I can only say what I've seen and heard and only you can choose And every choice you make will affect you, search your own self You can breathe today So many… Übersetzen in: Deutsch
Favorite song by them, i discovered this band în 2015 during my "emo phase", I'm past that now but I still love Flyleaf to death, also can't believe i have just now discovered this video ❤
Try your hardest to to perfect my own e x planation on this track back in u,now whats on the other side of page wrote backwirds just to beat u out me,now,live your dream,with the breath Inbetween
I wouldn't say she is crazy or depressed, because the song is all about her finding a true breath of fresh air for the first time and overcoming her depression/suicidal thoughts.
Passerby Austin Tx, out of temple tx, love the vocal intro, same as original EP tracks, best versions in my opinion. Spoke w Lacy after gig at the Vibe 6th st. Gave glory to God.
