Ain't nobody got time for that

[Verse]
Ink-stained hands flipping pages
Headlines scream but no one rages
Deadlines press like heavy cages
Where’s the fire
Where’s the spark

[Prechorus]
Every night he dreams of the stage
Shouting words
Breaking the cage

[Chorus]
The journalist who wanted more
Wanted to write a novel
Settle the score
Or play a guitar
Loud and raw
Wanted to be
Wanted to soar

[Verse 2]
Coffee-stained lips
A cigarette’s burn
Stories he tells
They never return
Each byline fades
No lessons learned
Where’s the truth
Where’s the roar

[Chorus]
The journalist who wanted more
Wanted to write a novel
Settle the score
Or play a guitar
Loud and raw
Wanted to be
Wanted to soar

[Bridge]
Pen in hand
Or mic in fist
Chasing shadows
Moments missed
Words like bullets
Dreams persist
What’s the point
What’s the risk

Identity On Fire is a bold statement for Lodi, California's A Skylit Drive. With their third full-length, A Skylit Drive have honed their signature sound: a blend of cinematic melody, layers of guitars, full force vocals, and lyrics that hit home. With the help of producer/mixer Cameron Webb, A Skylit Drive's understanding of their new identity has been an easy process. The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at #89 and #16 on the Alternative Albums chart.

A Skylit Drive released their first EP She Watched The Sky in 2007, followed by their first full-length in 2008, Wires And The Concept of Breathing, completing their current line up with the addition of frontman Michael "Jag" Jagmin. The band hit #64 on the top Billboard 200 in 2009 with Adelphia, their label debut with Fearless Records in 2009. Following a tour with Underoath and a full summer on Vans Warped Tour, A Skylit Drive rounds out 2012 as direct support to Alesana on this year's Rock Yourself to Sleep Tour.
