- Great song.
LYRICS:
What makes me think that it'll all work out in the end
Afraid to feel bad, better off to try and pretend
I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong
Just keep on wishing, crossing my fingers so long
Is this helping, I'm growing weaker each day
Can't stop whining, still afraid of what I might say
Or reactions, that control us one and all
It's mine, it's pure and
As decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know
Only the strong survive
So now I'm bleeding, on myself yes once again
Seems I trusted another deceitful friend, my
Fault should've known the deal
Keep your friends close, but your enemy's closer for real
Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard
Trying to guess life's dealing what's the next card
I'm surely folding, I don't like this hand at all
It's mine, it's pure and
As decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know
Only the strong survive
Maybe things happen for a reason, and wherein lies the answer
To overcome the grieving, of life's unruly lessons
I'm handed in succession it builds my pain which makes me strong
It's mine, it's pure and
As decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know
Only the strong survive
It's mine, it's pure and
As decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know
Only the strong survive
It's mine, it's pure and
As decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know
Only the strong survive
And you will survive, I will survive and we will survive.
great times with this album!!!
Can't thank you enough for how much this song and how much you all mean to me. Thank you, and bless you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
It was many years ago now, but I enjoyed meeting you here in Minneapolis on the reunion tour. Thank you again for spending time with the fans. I will never forget that night.
very beautyfull song im tryin to do a cover
Fuck, agree! This album hit home with me!
Still rock this in 2018...you guys never got the credit deserved...miss seeing you Chris, Lance, Ballenger, and Jay all rockin this shit...was amazing
This song helped me beat cancer.. so many sleepless nights listening to this song
Evan Delgado good for you. theres a song by filter called cancer. i listen to it every nov 24th. in 1996 my best friend died of acute leukemia. he was 15. bro love
Music loving metal head I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost a few friends due to cancer. I just looked up that song. it's pretty good. filter is a good band. I never got too into them other than a few hits. but that's a solid song
Yea it is pretty baddass. Take care. Sorry about your friends too. I dont exactly pray but i give a salute.
Evan Delgado you're fucking awesome
Evan Delgado Good job beating cancer, my friend! Good to have you still around and living with the power of music!
This is one of the most underrated albums ever. This album was ahead of it's time and still remains a masterpiece today.
this version was my cocoon during my first heavy depressive episode after a break-up i was not equipped to deal with. i was 17. i am happy now (mostly ;)) 17 years later.
This song goes out to the people that are going through; mental issues , personal hard ships , or obstacles , NEVER GIVE UP! There is an answer to every problem. Search with in yourself or don't be afraid to ask for help from a friend or relative
Thank you
this was considerate of you!
I have listened to this since the beginning, and now it means alot more to me now, i am addicted to pills and or heroin i have been shooting up pills or heroin for like 12 years and now i am finally getting off that crap, my body is great and no more really needs it, but, its hard for my brain to let it go away from me..... alot of my very close friends and family overdosed Fentanyl, some is hard some sucks and some is great, so really, you never know what you have, my buddy did a shoot, and it didnt do nother for him, so he did another shoot the same size and he died, im glad i have survived and i will stay strong and never di back!!!!
This person is very right what was writting is so true, but, if you ever are going threw hard times, dont be scared or afraid to PRAY TO JESUS CHRIST , he will help you, and he will never hive on you
I'm 31 years old and pure metaler but this makes me cry. You always will be in my meories flaw!
TheNoahWinchester you really cry? lol
Me too, this music has deep meaning to me. Medicate also hits home. Stay up homies.
u know the dropped an album in 2016 right ?
If you don't have tears in your eyes and/or chills at 3:43 .... I feel for you, pal
Most of these comments are years passed. Wish people still visited this more often. We all need this in our lives. Love you guys
this song saved life when I was at my lowest point. \m/
Same. I hope you’re doing better
Same. Broken and weeping, it saved me.
Yep
Still amazing in 2023! A true gem! Helped me with so much through my life. From break ups hardships and even a deployment to Iraq. This song has given me so much. I wish I could return the gift.
Brings me back. Chills. Love this band.
Man, this acoustic version really hits you in the feels.
I've rocked out to this album for over 20 years now. Never thought to this day I would still be attached to it.
Music is the only thing that has never given up on me. May we all have the direction to walk in peace.
I went to a Sublime cover band concert last night with a friend and asked a guy if he could help me walk down the steep stairs. He grabbed my hand and helped me. I bought him a beer for helping me and he told me he was going through a lot and I was a blessing to talk to him. We never know what someone is going through ❤
my husband and I went to see them here in Houston about 8 months ago and OMG I was impressed. I hadn't listen to them much before, only when my husband was with me in the car, but now I listen to them all the time. their music got me through the miscarriage of my twins. and now my 4 yr old and 2 yr old love this song!!! they'll be here again in a few weeks and I can't go! :(
Best version by far, and one of the great songs imo. ''It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself. Inside, we all know only the strong survive''
Flaw and all their songs got me through so much over the years I still come back to hear the words just to reflect.
This song has saved me ever since it came out yrs ago.
Holy shit. What a flashback. What an underrated band. What an absolute gem of a song. Clearly helped alot of people.
+1
Man the memories, one of the most underrated bands I've ever seen. shit is beautiful, thanks Chris.
What an underrated band. Simply amazing artists
you definitely feel the pain more in this version of this song, it seems to capture the true emotions that the singer was trying to convey i believe, especially the climax at the near end of the song
I agree dude poured his soul out for this song especially the end like you said
amazing band, been admiring all the way from England for a very long time. They rock!! x
for some reason when i feel bad this version always cheers me up for some unknown reason
I feel you bro, me too
Only the strong survive. Sad but true.
This song still speaks to me on a higher level after all these years
One of my favourite songs of all time
This song saved my life when I was younger, and it's saving my life again through the roughest time in my life. Thank you.
This is one of those songs, and Best I Am is another, that just cut so deep it changes you after hearing it. To quote Dr. Jordan B. Peterson: "People die without music, music is everything,"
I want this song played at my funeral
Robert Hammock and 1 handful of dirt to be on my way....
His vocals are amazing! Love this band back when they came out and still jamming them!
This beautiful song is so relevant now...so thankful for music💜💜
Law has got me through so many hardships and so many struggles and strives I love this band God bless them and God bless anyone who listens to them cuz that means they got a good soul and a good heart and we need way more of that in this life
The only song that can still give me goosebumps even after all these years
I LOVED FLAW WHEN THEY CAME OUT AND I LOVE FLAW TO THIS DAY.....2020 Thank You Flaw for the little bit of music you guys gave us
Saw these guys in Springfield Missouri back in the day. Great, awesome, honest band. All time favorite acoustic song
My cousin died in 07 in a car wreck. He was going 75 on a 35mph road at 2am. No drugs or alcohol in his system. He didn't have the easiest of lives. This song was on his Myspace page when he died. I've always wondered if the crash was intentional to end some unknown suffering. I guess I'll never know. But I always come back to this song
I'm so excited to see them making a new Album!!! I've listened to them back in late 90's!
I listen to this song when I'm sad, and trying to remember my friends that have proceeded me into the dark embrace of death. This one is for Robbe.
Perfect. Brings back the memory of my brother.
My wife doesn't know I can still 100% nail this song all those years later. I'll sing it for her one day.
Same
I remember buying CD with a video cassette of two singles..one of my top ten hard rock bands..
THE THEME SONG FOR THE 502 MUSIC SCENE. Welcome to our country, welcome to Louisville, KY.
well im sure they hail from there
FLAW is heading to the studio next month to finish up their NEW ALBUM!!!! Chris, Jay, Ryan and Corey!! Get it fellas!
This song brings me courage and inner happiness.. thanks flaw !
here is a readable version of the lyrics...
what makes you think that it'll all work out in the end.
afraid to feel bad. better off to try and pretend.
I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong.
just keep on wishing, crossing my fingers. so long.
is this helping? i'm growing weaker each day.
can't stop whining, still afraid of what i might say
or reactions, that control us one and all.
[chorus]
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as i can make myself.
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive.
Why don't you think about that?
o now i'm bleeding on myself yes once again.
seems i trusted another deceitful friend.
my fault. should've known the deal.
keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, for real.
seems easy, but nothing could be so hard.
trying to guess lifes dealing. what's the next card?
I'm surely falling. i don't like this hand at all.
[chorus]
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as i can make myself.
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive.
Keep those eyes wide open, here comes a blind side.
maybe things happen for a reason and wherein lies the answer.
to overcome the grieving of lifes unruly lessons. i'm handed in succession.
it builds my pain which makes me strong.
[chorus]
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as i can make myself.
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive.
Why don't you think about that??
Volz had a great solo album, but I'm psyched they are all back together and working on new material! FLAW BABY!
They'll be here in San Antonio May 20....hell yeah
beautiful song. I've listened to this for years and it gets better each time. thanks for uploading it
Simply gold.
much love Cole #NuMetal It really is what's missing from society nowadays. #Songwriters
Such a damn good band. So glad they're back. For those that don't know they plan an album in 2016.
I enjoy singing along outloud
It's mine,
It's pure, and,
As decent as I can make myself inside,
We all know,
Only the strong
Enjoy coming back after every few years it seems, when things getting so unbearably complicated, and
try to sort out these moments you know friends and family have stood from once before.
Sometimes things may seem the bleakest but there's always hope, even many times, the answers just don't seem to be there; or impossible, too difficult, but Change only comes with personal growth. God Bless
BOOM!! STRAIGHT TO THE ❤!
allmusic should have this pure hart n soul
DoyouRoku If every song had this heart and soul, then this song would probably be meaningless
Beautiful voice. More acoustic please.
Stella Formanek This song is over 15 year-old. l don't understand what you are expecting
OK, have they done any similar music? Not keen on their other style.
Such as what songs?
What style?
such as melodic acoustic songs, gentle songs
This song was such a gem. Loved this album.💜
This song has helped me through so much terrible times in my life. Thank you so much Flaw, incredible.
We will survive
i sing this song evey day when i get home from school to improve my voice, and just cause i love the song.
I improve my mu voice by heading to the nearest farm.
Damien333 lol
My* voice
Goosebumps and tears. Chris Volz is amazing
Super late. Glad I woke up to this bonus track on the album.
My favorite favorite song by then. Love me some Flaw
Here in 2019 trying to more thoroughly remember the stuff I grew up on. Thank you for keeping this alive!
I so remember you guys back in 99' at the Toy Tiger in Louisville Ky and I was currently at the time live on Fort Knox and I remember buying a cd from you guys and later on that cd got jacked and now I don't have it errrrr!
You give me hope too try too sing t.y 502 boy's keep it up Chris
Been listening to them,cut the longest, to this date my favorite band, they tell some real shit and gives life lessons a clearer perspective.
Love these guys.
I want this version of this song played at my funeral...
I love this song! The one that wrote it is am amazing writer and man to talk to!
Still loving it 🤟
heard they were getting back together,I hope so, actually got to see them once so I look forward to seeing them again
Beautiful song discovery
Anthem for 2020
Such a hauntingly beautiful song
Wow!!! Breathtaking!!! 😍😭😭🎶💜
songs makes rivers,good job boys
Yeah this song has been on my playlist almost 2 decades now. Hope the guys in the band survived.
You guys are missing the point. He's saying as pure as decent as he makes himself by working on himself the more meek and loving he becomes the more weak he becomes to get eaten by the world.
this is such a true and real song!!!!!!
So strong and powerful song!
2024... And Beyond!
Good voice
I saw them in 2000 and still kick ass
this is actually the original version, not the metal version which was brought out much earlier when I was a kid
Respect for real Americans 🇺🇸
i wish they dropped an unplugged album!
Never would i down anyone of these guy's love u flaw under Mudd Billy Boone or seabolt ed man
woww!
To this day, I can't make it through this song without breaking down.
Everytime I sing it
I just start banging on the steering wheel loosing my shit.. For real
Still listening in 2022
Love you Johnathan. Sorry she's gone from us.
so sad. Feel like me end up with crap in my life. I'm tired of suffering because a woman that left me with two sons
stay strong and you will survive. keep building your pain and getting stronger. you will survive, we will survive.
Still hanging?
Oh my God I just found this and was moved
Cool
These guys need to head to the east coast
I thought of this song cuz I keep hearing that r&b song 'all of me' by John legend. It's in the same key. They're pretty similar in structure.
It's real sad boi hours.
:( :( :( I love this song :( :( :(
What makes me think that it will all work out in the end
