lyrics

= I've spent my whole life watching my heroes quit - to find some meaning I - stood in the road and I felt all my consequences - they kick me while I'm down - I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how this turned out - I just couldn't walk away from it somehow - I've always fought tooth and nail and kept my head down - but I still lost my way - I don't think I have the voice to pull it off - and I've got no love left for myself - I don't have a choice to run away - but it's up to me - so it's up to me - this song is for the ones who wrote me off - when I put my heart on the shelf - I promise that our time will come - you'll see - that we're going to be - we're going to be - collecting dust all alone on the shelf - it feels like I've spent this year asleep - lost in a valley as a LONE WOLF wandering - I took a step back for me - rebuilt my confidence - I'll watch this world go to hell - but I will not hate myself - I may be an UNDERDOG - but I'm still me - I swear one day you'll see - take me back to the good life we used to dream - when we conquered everything - I'll keep searching for an honest truth - but I was never looking up to you - my story's written by myself - and no one else - I don't think I have the voice to pull it off - and I've got no love left for myself - I don't have a choice to run away - but it's up to me - so it's up to me - this song is for the ones who wrote me off - when I put my heart on the shelf - I promise that our time will come - you'll see - that we're going to be - we're going to be - lost and alone - wish I could come back home but I - feel it slipping away - what's left to say when I've got no love left - for me - I don't think I have the voice to pull it off - and I've got no love left for myself - I don't have a choice - to run away - but it's up to me - it's up to me - this song is for the ones who wrote me off - when I put my heart on the shelf - I promise that our time will come you'll see - we're going to be - we're going to be - WOLVES - I can't believe I spent this year asleep - and I still struggle through my doubts and fears - but I'll stand strong just as I have before - I think it's time I admit that - I'm still an UNDERDOG =

about

The Day After Indianapolis, Indiana

Indianapolis’ own The Day After formed in 2008. Fighting through years of member changes and many an evolution of sound, the four-piece punk rock outfit is back in the saddle. Kevin, Jacob, Collin, and Dan have given up the pretense of any musical dogma, and are ready to redefine what melodic hardcore can look like in 2023. The new single “BURNOUT” is available on streaming services everywhere.
