Awaken
Justifide Lyrics
Woke up this morning with a sigh
Put on some shoes and took a walk outside
Needed a break from my daily routine
I think y'all know what I mean
Whoa man, wait is this real?
Things out here ain't normally how they feel
Maybe it's 'cause I've never ever been up this early
No
This day when I step outside
It's gonna make my eyes cry
I made the choice to return home
Now my life just ain't my own
And when I breathe I can taste the air
Never will I live my life again in fear
Died to my flesh yet my flesh is still here
Take this new life and I hold it so near
Woke up this morning with a feeling my life has changed
The price has been paid
And this is a secret that I won't take to my grave
No way
Whoa man, I know how you feel
Fill in the blank and make the void take a break
But I know a way where the filler's not temporary
So now that I tell you what are you thinking about?
What?
How to change 'cause you've seen me before and now you want what I got
So now I say to take Him in
And your life will never be the same again

Justifide is a "Christcore" band that formed in 1999 and ended in 2003 when Joey Avalos left the band. The band's music dealt with hard-hitting images and real-world problems. They are not as intense as some CCM musicians (such as P.O.D.), but they have a harder edge than some other Christian bands (such as PAX217). The remaining members of Justifide, brothers Jason and Sambo Moncivaiz, re-formed into a new group, called Reform the Resistance.

They are not as intense as some CCM musicians (such as P.O.D.), but they have a harder edge than some other Christian bands (such as PAX217). The remaining members of Justifide, brothers Jason and Sambo Moncivaiz, re-formed into a new group, called Reform the Resistance.
Beginnings
Justifide began at home, with the brokenness of distressed family relations, a circumstance that eventually led to experimentation with alcohol and other drugs. While they were only in their teens, the Moncivaiz brothers lived in a house that was stressed to the breaking point, with the parents separated. The problems started to spiral downward, and the situation might have ended up much worse. But one event changed the family's direction: convinced of the family's need for God, the Moncivaizes' father became born again. That spiritual transformation turned the family's life around. Music was a natural outlet for the family, since both brothers had started learning instruments as a young age.
Second Stage
As a formal group, Justifide started with Ian Metzger as the vocalist, Jason Moncivaiz on drums, Sambo Moncivaiz on the bass, and Joey Avalos playing the guitar. They try to keep it real, not playing depressing songs all the time but not playing all "happy" songs either. In the words of singer Jason Moncivaiz:
"We try to touch on all of the human experience. Life and death,
love and loss. We don't just experience the emotion of joy. There's
a lot of other stuff going on in us, too. So not all of our songs are
'coming from a happy place.' And not all of our songs are going to
be depressing and sad. We're trying to write about all of life, all
of the things we're feeling."
After about a year of touring and recording the band's first indie EP, Life Outside the Toybox, Ian Metzger departed. Jason started singing as well as playing the drums. The remaining members toured a bit as a three-man band, but eventually they began hiring drummers to free up Jason to concentrate on vocals. Some of the drummers the band worked with were Jaren Johnston of Bang Bang Bang and Jeff Irizarry of Dear Ephesus. Guitarist Joey Avalos left Justifide in 2003. He has since gone on to work with Pillar and an independent project called Stars Go Dim.
Reform the Resistance
After years of recording, touring, and switching drummers and guitarists, the band finally acquired a permanent drummer, Ryan Dugger of Nashville, Tennessee, and renamed itself Reform the Resistance. The new three-person group has released an EP titled "And It Begins" and its first single "Tonight" to Christian rock radio.
