The Veer Union - Living Not Alive

1.Counting the Hours

[Intro]
Who the fuck are you to tell me who I am
From the outside looking in with your perfect little plan
You don’t know my wars
You don’t know my nights
You don’t know the blood behind my fucking fights

[Verse 1]
I bled in silence while you talked your shit
Turned my scars into the punchline bit
Point your finger like you’re holier than me
But your hands are dirtier than what you see
You call me “broken” like you’re so damn clean
Like you weren’t part of the same damn scene
You sip your lies, I spit my truth
You preach from safety, I survived the abuse
You say “victim” like I enjoy the role
Like I didn’t crawl from a burning hole
Like I didn’t drag my heart through hell
While you rang the fucking judgement bell

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t want strength, you want me weak
You want me silent, small, and meek
But every word you throw my way
Turns my pain into a blade

[Chorus]
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO CALL ME A VICTIM
WHEN I’M STILL STANDING IN THIS SYSTEM
I FOUGHT MY WAY THROUGH EVERY SIN
AND YOU GOT THE NERVE TO LABEL ME FROM YOUR SKIN
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO SPEAK MY NAME
WHEN YOU AIN’T FELT THIS KIND OF FLAME
I’M NOT YOUR LABEL, I’M NOT YOUR LOSS
I’M THE ONE WHO PAID THE FUCKING COST

[Verse 2]
You feed on drama, suck it dry
Then look shocked when I don’t cry
You twist my story for your feed
For your likes, your pity, your fucking need
But I don’t need your sympathy rain
I turned pressure into power and pain
You sit up high on your opinions
While I break chains and crush dominions
You don’t see the nights alone
Where I had to face it on my own
No saviors, no fucking hand
Just me and this cursed land

[Build-Up]
You call me weak, I call me warned
You call me lost, I call reborn
You call me down, I call aware
There’s hell in me but I still care

[Chorus]
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO CALL ME A VICTIM
WHEN I DEFIED EVERY FUCKING SYSTEM
I WORE THE CHAINS, I BROKE THEM CLEAN
DON’T CALL ME WHAT I’VE NEVER BEEN
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO JUDGE MY PAIN
WHEN YOU’VE NEVER WALKED INSIDE THIS BRAIN
YOU TALK TOO LOUD WITH NOTHING TO SAY
SO TURN AROUND AND WALK THE FUCK AWAY

[Bridge]
I am not your sadness
I am not your charity
I am not your diagnosis
I am my own fucking clarity
Every scar is a signature
Every scream, a scripture
You don’t get to name my fight
You don’t get to own my night

[Breakdown]
CHOKE…
ON YOUR OWN LIES
DROWN…
IN YOUR DISGUISE
I BREATHE FIRE
YOU BREATHE SHAME
WE ARE NOT THE FUCKING SAME

[Final Chorus]
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO CALL ME A VICTIM
I AM THE STORM YOU TRY TO SILENCE
I AM THE DAMAGE THAT SURVIVED
THE FUCKING VOICE THEY BURIED ALIVE
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO CALL ME DONE
I’M JUST GETTING FUCKING STARTED, SON
YOUR WORDS DON’T BREAK MY BONES
I BUILT A THRONE FROM WHAT YOU THREW

[Outro]
So speak my name one more time
With poison on your tongue
And watch me turn your hatred
Into the power you run from

Digital Summer is an unmistakable modern rock band originating from Phoenix, Arizona. Made up of heavy/melodic guitars and raw emotional vocals, Digital Summer creates an edgy, yet soothing tone for a radio friendly world. Influenced by multiple music genres, Digital Summer is a rock band to the core, not a “trend” by any means. Digital Summer is known for their professional songwriting ability, energetic live show and seemingly endless promotional antics.

Digital Summer has had 6 singles in regular rotational play on major market radio (KUPD, OCTANE, WGRD, WWBN, WIIL, WZBH, WXQR, KHTO, KRDJ, KTUX and more.), “Whatever it takes”, "Disconnect”, “Just Run”, "Hostage", “Forget You” and "Dance In The Fire" have all  been among the top requested songs on each station. “Just Run” was #1 in rotation per research on 98Kupd for over seven weeks straight.
"Forget You" reached #38 on Active Rock radio charts.

Aside from sharing the stage with bands like Alice in Chains, Godsmack, Deftones, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Theory of a Dead Man and many more, Digital Summer has also toured nationally with Sevendust, Drowning Pool, 10 Years, Saliva, Taproot, Nonpoint and more. With a live show that includes throwing guitars across the stage and diving into the crowd, the band is quoted often as saying “Fans should get their money’s worth. If you’re not willing to bleed on stage, you shouldn’t be there.”

Digital Summer is not your “typical” rock band by a long shot. Along with being professional musicians, the members manage to maintain additional professional careers. Front man Kyle Winterstein is currently a Firefighter/Paramedic/Technical Rescue Specialist. His brother and guitarist, Ian Winterstein (Sponsored by Schecter) is a Flight Medic on a helicopter. Bassist Anthony “Guido” Hernandez (Sponsored by Spector) is finishing his business degree in marketing..

These additional careers are what drive the lyrical and emotional foundation of what Digital Summer's music is about. From death and tragedy to passion and endurance, the songs on a Digital Summer album come from their real lives and their very own experiences.
