a faith not of grade
i fight to to stay strong so i
stand accused of playing numb
i know it is wrong
for i give my strength
i give my heart
take these chains
for i must shine
and i will a star
in a season all mine
a lyric, a time, a crusade, a line
one minute, a friend, a road without end
a lyric, a time, a crusade, a line
one minute, a friend, a road without end
so here is the view
i cast about
i'm leaving no room
for you to get out
you'll never get out
dove, can't you cry without an aside
?
i need you as my way
across my life
to spend these years
create a new thought
for i give you strength
and offer my heart
take these chains
and hold them as ours
for i'm a star
and i will shine
in a season all mine

The song "Lyric" by Zwan is a reflection on the power of faith and the struggle to remain strong in the face of adversity. The singer declares that his faith is a powerful force that carries him forward, but he is also aware that others may see him as numb or disconnected. Despite this, he is committed to shining like a star in his own season, and he is willing to take on the challenges that come with that journey.
The chorus repeats the phrases "a lyric, a time, a crusade, a line" and "one minute, a friend, a road without end" to emphasize the idea of a long and difficult journey. The singer declares that he is carving out his own path and leaving no room for others to hinder his progress. He also acknowledges the support of his dove, who helps him navigate through life and create new ideas.
Overall, "Lyric" is a song about the importance of faith, determination, and self-discovery. It speaks to the journey that we all must take to find our own way in the world, and the struggles that we must overcome in order to shine like stars.

Hey, Roxtar!
Take ten deep, slow breaths.
Take a deep breath any time you think about your breath.
From the Mayo Clinic:
>>But when stressors are always present and you constantly feel under attack, that fight-or-flight reaction stays turned on.
>>The long-term activation of the stress response system and the overexposure to cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone] and other stress hormones that follow *can disrupt almost all your body's processes.* This puts you at increased risk of many health problems, including:
>>Anxiety, Depression, Digestive problems, Headaches, Muscle tension and pain, Heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke, Sleep problems, Weight gain, Memory and concentration impairment
Peer reviewed article from *Nature*:
>>Prolonged, elevated cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone] levels in animals are also shown to cause atrophy [Weakening] in the hippocampus [The Brain's Memory Center]and hypertrophy [Growth] in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], largely through changes in dendritic remodeling[Parts Of Brain Cells That Catch Messages From Other Brain Cells]. These structural changes may contribute to deficits in appropriate feedback onto the HPA axis. [The Part Of Your Brain That Keeps You Calm]
Results from Berkely Study:
>>Activity in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], suggests thatย quick breathing rates may trigger feelings like anxiety, anger, or fear. Other studies have shown that we tend to be more attuned to fear when we're breathing quickly. Conversely, it may be possible to reduce fear and anxiety by slowing down our breath.
Results from MSU study:
>>Deep breathing causes the vagus nerve [Immune System And Heart Rate Control] to signal your nervous system to lower your heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone]. Taking just ten deep breaths can assist with relaxation and provide a sense of calm.
Breathe deep!

I loved the early 2000s. I was 17 when this album came out. I'd just entered into a relationship with a girl who would eventually become my wife. Parties every weekend, going to college, not having to work much, spending all my wages on cds, pot, beer and McDonald's. This was my album of my 2003 summer, which for me, was my greatest summer ever. Now 2 of my friends passes away, 3 I never see and one of them became my wife and lifelong best friend. Great album for great memories
