The Strength to go on~ Rise Against

Welcome home
While away
They have tampered with the locks
And your things they rearranged
"We propose,
A better way"
Said the note they left behind
In their wake of disarray

You fell in place
Don't fall asleep
They'll find us here
I know a place
To disappear
As a voice proclaimed

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are 'till the day we die
Or 'till we don't have the strength to go on
'Till we don't have the strength to go on

Let us cry
Let us be
Let us open up our hearts
Without fear of anything
Faith alone's
All we need
To traverse this burning bridge
Now before it gets too late

You claim, "it's fine"
But the heart reveals
What smiles betray
Your sad sad eyes
Gave you away
And don't you know

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are 'till the day we die
Or 'till we don't have the strength to go on
'Till we don't have the strength to go on

Our shoulders bear an awful weight
But still we trudge on just the same
Our colors run then leave a stain
They blacken our once honest name
How can we argue, tell me
Over the fury and the fire
How many times can we tell you that we
Are not like you, we see right through
The poor disguise that fails to fool
The wary eye is trained on you

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are 'till the day we die
Or 'till we don't have the strength to go on
'Till we don't have the strength to go on

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are 'till the day we die
Or 'till we don't have the strength to go on
'Till we don't have the strength to go on

Today is The Champs 21st birthday!! We went gambling it was very fun. It was The Champ and his dad. The coach and his cousin. I haven't given him a nic-name yet so well just call him Max (i don't know why but the boys call him that.)

The Champs Dad and I left a head, the other boys didn't. After that Dad and I dropped the boys of at the Bowling center we work at and I went to get the other car. By the time I got back to the center The Champ was on shot like 7. Not big deal. We were joined then but The Creeper, Piggie, Boss Lady, Boss Man and some other people that are at the Center a lot. I didn't drink a drop but didn't need to, to have a good time. I don't even have word for how much fun I had tonight. It remained me of my 21st. A really good night. Lots if drinking happened that night by pretty much all. Life seamed much easier when your only turning 21. For every shot The Champ too I put a tick mark on his arm. He didn't make it to 21 only 16 but he did also drink 6 mixed drinks so I think he did pretty good. I think a good time was had by all and even after buying 4 shots tonight I'm still up for the day.

The song choice today is one of The Champs favorites. A song that he played for me and helped to to fall in love with as well.

Its well past Midnight here in Jasper. All of the boys are bond to be sleeping and its no longer The Champs birthday but I wanted to share with the world my great 'yesterday' was and this just seamed fitting.

So Happy Birthday Champ I hope it was a good one!

Have Faith
Deuces
