A failure is a test that allows me to grow,
a doorway to my life, I know I have to give it a go,
A road less traveled, I go through the dust storm.
I know I’m alive when I transform.
Do you live or just stay alive?
Survive or thrive, survive or thrive.
Do you live or just stay alive?
Survive or thrive, survive or thrive.
When more emptiness and lack of hope I see,
I’m high on faith, much stronger bonds I build.
The sicker and uglier this world turns to be,
the more I believe that it can be healed.
Do you live or just stay alive?
Survive or thrive, survive or thrive.
Do you live or just stay alive?
Survive or thrive, survive or thrive.
I can always find an excuse
to stay in a box that feels so secure,
not to get my ambition bruised,
and spent a life like it was just a blur.

Rebirth may be one of the best bands going right now. I'm usually a fan of the youth crew style of hardcore, but this stuff cannot miss. Recommended! Millwall D.
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023
