August Burns Red - White Washed Lyrics






Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life.
It's not about my beliefs. It's about personal choice.
It breaks your heart to see me consume, but it shatters mine to see people follow you.
Ask me to be blameless. You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what's right?
Don't say another word. Don't say another word.
You've crossed the line. Don't say another word.
You've crossed the line. Don't say another word.
You've crossed the line. Don't say another word.
You've crossed the line.
Let's go...
I won't hesitate to put you in your place.
You are the straw that's crushing my back.
You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what's right?
Don't say another word...
However, I thank you for this pen and ink ammunition.
Thank you for the inspiration.
You're the straw that's crushing my back.
You are the salt that's burning my wounds.
You're the straw that's crushing my back.
You are the salt that's burning my wounds.
You're the straw that's crushing my back.
You are the salt that's burning my wounds.

  35. R.... S....

    Best guitar riff I've heard in a loooooong time, that's for sure.

  36. K.... C....

    @killjack116 You wont get any fucking hate here you pansy, what do you listen too? Rap? like the rest of the fucking world, you have no sense of taste in music, if you dont like this music then why in the fuck are you watching the video. Why dont you go listen to your talentless fucking rap stars who have no fucking clue about what music is about, all they know is how to make a rhyme...not hard....and then all they gotta do is make a simple beat on a computer and they are fucking done, Psh haha

    K.... C....

    @IPstixrawesume Best comment ever dude !

  38. J.... S....

    @Stonewallboy I would hate to agree with something that goes against ABR but thats one drummer i would have to agree.

  39. M.... C....

    @Ebenezershnezer81 Nah dude, Im open to most types of music but not JB, im mainly metal !

  40. E.... H....

    @MXmat52 are you one of them?

  41. M.... C....

    @Ebenezershnezer81 Man... Thats getting really old -.- Just sayin

  42. S.... ....

    @xxblindsightxx he's good, but check out these, i think they are better: Mike Wengren, Jason Bittner, and Chris Adler...all sick ass drummers

  43. E.... H....

    7 Justin Bieber fans watched this video.

  44. L.... V....

    Pink Is the new Hardcore

    Spread the word!

  45. J.... S....

    @xxblindsightxx hell yeaaaaa !!!

  46. l.... ....

    If this band had a crazy insane bassist the world would end.

  47. J.... N....

    Coming back to Milwaukee September 16th? I think yes. At the Rave, be there. Fuck yeah. They're back.

  48. T.... ....

    @xxblindsightxx idk, may b for hardcore metal he is a great drummer but over all, rush's drummer is fantastic along side with dream theaters and many other bands
    abr's drummer doesnt stand out from other metal like this
    i am a drummer also, i think he is good, i just wouldnt say best

  49. J.... J....

    @shrawrXD pretty sure he did bc right after that is a rift where ppl normally circle. ha thats great. when he did it live the stopped and told everyone to go to the open field behind us and make the biggest circlepit hes ever seen. there were almost 100 people in it.

  50. A.... F....

    the drummer is a BEAST!

  51. B.... H....

    Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life.
    It's not about my beliefs. It's about personal choice.
    It breaks your heart to see me consume, but it shatters mine to see people follow you.

    Love Them!

  52. B.... H....

    @aprilfool2012

    As I Lay dying is about the same. AILD and ABR are my favorite bands. I actually have an ABR song cover on guitar.

  53. J.... ....

    Ha! At around 0:24 he pulls a Lacey Mosely! Reminds me of All Around Me! Thumbs up if you know what I'm talking about. (most of you won't =[ )

  54. C.... K....

    white pickups for the win.

  55. g.... s....

    matts jesus beard is gone!!!! I LOVE THIS BAND!

  56. S.... D....

    @xxblindsightxx You can get a thumbs up? The video can get a like :) haha (i knew what you meant :P just being a smartass haha)

  57. C.... S....

    3:45 looks like Jesus on the cross.
    wow, ABR is deff my all time favorite band.

  58. B.... B....

    @zealot644 there is no album past constellations! and most people agree that constellation is a great album!

  59. J.... L....

    @xxblindsightxx not best, but very very good.

  60. J.... ....

    i hate the way they do videos. its too sporadic

  61. Z.... ....

    I feel this band went downhill past the constellations album.

    Z.... ....

    Daniel R you're an idiot. One of the only bands that's stayed true to their sound.

  62. B.... S....

    you know i love this song like none other but i thinked they killed it with this music video i mean you can hardl see anything, but i still love the song dont get me wrong

  63. s.... ....

    lol y does this vid have more views than the white washed vid the actuall band posted??

  64. B.... B....

    This video is Fucking beast! Hands down. Abr forever :D

  65. L.... P....

    Matt Greiner > Chuck Norris.

  66. M.... j....

    fap fap fap fap fap fap fap

  67. A.... ....

    @Cannibalcorpse55 lol, This is the most idiotic statement I have ever read.

  68. B.... B....

    My comment with 29 thumbs ups isnt on the highest rated comments anymore? >:|

  69. x.... ....

    matt greiner best drummer ever
    can i get a like

  70. J.... L....

    matt greiner is not only a mad drummer, also has great posture.

  71. A.... ....

    epic song, thats all there is to say, and this band it to good to be defined PERIOD!

  72. D.... ....

    @shumba2444 It IS their opener :P

  73. x.... ....

    Freaking beast song.

  74. D.... ....

    I'm not a huge fan of his voice, and the green guitar is, in my opinion ugly, But this is still a good band and one of the rare bands which play metal and wear normal clothes, That's really nice to see that metal didn't nessecary mean black clothes.

  75. A.... S....

    @StarShredder777 actually it is how the listener translates them. some could think christian, agnostic, or anything else. religeon of the band somewhat does it but the listener does the most.

  76. A.... S....

    @TheTOBster21 i agree, this does not bring out SS's good side. They have awsome bands that are signed with them but they play favorites and are sooo cheap on advertising and videos. ryland raus wore a abr hoodie. yay!

  77. n.... d....

    this would be a sick opener

  78. w.... ....

    i"d have to agree that religion has little to do with liking a band.... for instance i'm in a deathcore band and our songs are anything but religious, i'm accually agnostic along with 3 other members in my band but i still love metalcore, and these guys are awesome along with as i lay dying and war of ages, GET OVER IT PEOPLE, i used to bash on religion but i've calmed down a bit with age and i like this music reguardless

  79. R.... ....

    @YouLIKEtheQUEEN itll never end lol . . . .

  80. R.... ....

    @TheBrandonBumrush hahahahahahaha

  81. R.... ....

    YOU'RE THE STRAW THAT'S CRUSHING MY BACK
    YOU ARE THE SALT THAT'S BURNING MY WOUNDS.

    That was epic. ABR is epic.

  82. S.... ....

    @MintahDrums Do you mean like cleans? Because i think it would ruin how amazingly heavy they are right now!

  83. S.... ....

    @RazorCoreProductions Well religion kinda does matter because all their lyrics follow up to being christian and getting their beliefs across.

  84. J.... F....

    @alexpadilla6366 To go along with my first comment watch the first minute and a half of Matt Greiners interview..."Interview with Matt Greiner of August Burns Red" if you need more proof than that, that they are a christian band then I can't help you, he made his position clear.

  85. J.... F....

    @alexpadilla6366 Hey uh mack, I know two of the band members personally, and they are a Christian band with Christian morals, and would tell you that any day, so if you have a problem with their faith, and mine, keep your comments to yourself or don't listen to their music. If you don't believe me listen to their song Redemption, you don't write ltrics like that unless you are for real.

  86. S.... D....

    i dont really get what hes saying in this song, can someone explain?

  87. S.... S....

    @alexpadilla6366 Aww it's okay man. There's therapy for that :D

  88. g.... ....

    theyre such chads hahahaha

  89. d.... ....

    matt got a hair cut :O. awesome song!!!

  90. C.... R....

    EPIC!!!!

  91. S.... S....

    @alexpadilla6366 Aww u mad?

  92. K.... N....

    love the opening of this song, its sick

  93. m.... ....

    Im just glad ABR doesn't exactly sing about religion in all of their songs.

  94. S.... Y....

    I'm an Atheist and this is literally my favorite band.

  95. H.... ....

    i totally worship them!! and who gives a shit if they believe in god or not, if that's what inspires them than why would that be your problem... just for the record i am a christian but i absolutely wouldn't have anything against them if they were jews or muslims or atheists.

  96. j.... ....

    As nonreligious as I am, I do admire the way some bands such as August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, etc. choose to express their faith.

  97. J.... P....

    @NoobyMac yeah they're filming a live dvd in their hometown.

  98. S.... ....

    It makes me laugh when he screams at the camera. And when he jumps up with his arms stretched out with palms up. It looks kinda dumb tbh.

  99. B.... B....

    Goddam, Matt Greiner can rock a mohawk like no other.

  100. L.... R....

    @IPWNZFUTBOL yeeeeee :D
