STILL CLIMBING Front Cover

Lyric

If I Can Rise

Back Draft

I’ve fallen more times

Than I can explain

Each scar on my hands

Still carries the pain

I called it failure

I called it defeat

But every broken road

Led back to my feet

There were nights I believed

I was finished for good

Buried in silence

Misunderstood

But something inside me

Refused to disappear—

A quiet reminder:

“You’re still here.”

If I can stand again

Even after the fall

Then maybe it wasn’t

Failure at all

If I can rise

Then nothing was wasted

Every mistake

Was strength in the making

If I can rise

Then the past wasn’t pain—

It was preparation

To stand again

What broke me

Built me

What hurt me

Taught me

The ground I hit

Was not the end—

It was the place

I learned to bend

If I can rise

I’m not who I was

The fall didn’t stop me—

It shaped who I am

If I can rise

Then I understand:

The past wasn’t failure—

It was a plan

    Back Draft

- Even so, we keep climbing. -

Strength is not about never breaking.
It's about never forgetting the hand that was there
on the nights you almost fell apart.

This album, "STILL CLIMBING,"
is a story of setbacks, loneliness, doubt, and rebirth -
a story of an unfinished life.

There are no perfect heroes here.
Only people
who fall... and rise again.

The Sound

Melodic hardcore with unstoppable momentum -
but it's more than speed.

Quiet piano passages.
Embracing choirs.
Anthems meant to be sung together.

Not music of aggression -
but music of forward motion.

If you're standing still right now,
if you feel like you've stopped climbing -

May this sound
be the hand that touches your back
and tells you to keep going.

To You

If this album speaks to you,
pass it on to someone else.

Every share, every word,
becomes someone's next step.
