Another cover of one of my favorite bands

Don't answer me (Alan Parsons Project - cover)

[Verse 1]
Born into fire, raised in the smoke,
Mama on the needle, daddy sniffin' up the hope.
Crack pipes on the table, bottles on the floor,
He ain't even five, but he’s seen way more.

Grandpa stepped in, said "Enough of this mess,"
Took the boy home, tried to give him some rest.
Eight years gone, still nightmares at night,
Screams in his dreams, ain't no end in sight.

Mama passed out and never woke again,
Just a whisper in the wind, no paper, no pen.
Daddy disappeared, came back with new clothes,
Actin’ real different, now he's kissin' his bros.

[Chorus]
Now Dorrian’s standin' in the mirror like,
“Who the hell am I? And why my life ain't right?”
They all left me in the storm, no shelter in sight,
But I'm still breathin', still fightin', still holdin' tight.

Life tried to break me, world tried to bend me,
But I wear my pain like it’s armor — defend me.
I ain’t what they made me, I'm what I choose,
Dorrian don’t lose, nah… Dorrian refuses.

[Verse 2]
Every kid got dreams — his were just peace,
No sirens, no needles, just quiet and sleep.
He’d sit on the roof and stare at the moon,
Talkin’ to God like, “Why’d you take her so soon?”

Used to blame his pops, used to hate the world,
Used to scream in the dark till his voice would hurl.
But he grew up fast, got sharp like a knife,
Wrote bars on his pain, gave the ink some life.

“Dad's still alive, but he’s someone else,”
He don’t even look when I cry for help.
But I ain’t bitter no more, I just let it be,
'Cause I ain't defined by the ones who left me.

[Chorus]
Now Dorrian’s standin' in the mirror like,
“Who the hell am I? And why my life ain't right?”
They all left me in the storm, no shelter in sight,
But I'm still breathin', still fightin', still holdin' tight.

Life tried to break me, world tried to bend me,
But I wear my pain like it’s armor — defend me.
I ain’t what they made me, I'm what I choose,
Dorrian don’t lose, nah… Dorrian refuses.

[Bridge – Spoken Word Flow]
You ever had a family tree full of broken limbs?
Tryna climb to the light through the thorns and sins?
Dorrian did. Still does. Still climbs.
Every scar a verse. Every tear, a rhyme.

[Outro]
So when the world turns cold and the truth gets grim,
Just remember Dorrian — yeah, be like him.
Not ‘cause he’s perfect — but 'cause he survived,
And through the ashes, he still came alive.

Shadows in the Neon

Sometimes we get into a hard place, where it's hard to get out of the rut and move forward. For some of us, the downs are more frequent than the ups. Get Back up.  Dust it off. Move forward.

Get back up

Yeah…
Listen close.
’Cause what I’m about to say might shake everything you think you know—
about pain, failure, and your own mind.
[Verse 1]
There’s two kinds of people in this world, I’ve seen it,
Those who break down, tired, barely breathing,
And those who rise up when the weight gets heavy,
When the storm comes down, they stay steady.
It ain’t luck, it ain’t schooling, it ain’t IQ,
It’s a mindset—what’s inside you.
Ain’t about pretending when your soul’s in pieces,
It’s power, it’s faith, it’s your will through the seasons.
[Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
Ain’t no fear in my veins, I just breathe, I believe—
Positive mental attitude, that’s me.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every loss that I take just fuels my flame,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
I can’t lose with this mindset, I can’t lose.
[Verse 2]
Met the ghosts of giants, legends in their time,
Carnegie, Ford, Edison on the grind,
They built empires out of pressure and dirt,
They took every failure, turned it into work.
Didn’t run from the pain, they embraced it,
Didn’t cry when the game rearranged it.
They studied defeat, transmuted the pain,
Turned every setback into gain.
[Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
Ain’t no fear in my veins, I just breathe, I believe—
Positive mental attitude, that’s me.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every loss that I take just fuels my flame,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
I can’t lose with this mindset, I can’t lose.
[Bridge / Spoken Breakdown]
What’s controlling your mind today?
Fear? Doubt? Resentment? Self-pity?
Or faith… purpose… gratitude… desire?
Your mind ain’t neutral—it’s always under the influence of something.
If you don’t control it, the world will.
If you don’t master it, the devil will.
And when I faced my greatest enemy… it was me.
[Final Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
No chains on my soul, just the truth that I choose—
My attitude decides if I win or lose.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every scar on my heart just calls my name,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
Positive mental attitude…
That’s you.
