we rejected our crazy dreams then, furious broken-hearted, but in their wake every other scheme seemed so lackluster, every other hope half-hearted, and so one by one we returned to burn and sore - we returned to burn and sore again | when the warmth is gone, all you dream of is some sleep | when we find no home, we make home from these streets | i never thought i'd feel so alone in such a crowded room, i never thought i'd feel so crowded when i'm alone | and all these blinding streetlights are making me dreamless, as i'm becoming one with concrete and glass, i am fearless | and with my fears i disappear | i'm loosing myself, for a moment of silence i'd give it all, as i drown in liquor | and as all the colors fade to grey, i paint myself black, because i choose to be no one rather than someone else | i chose to be no one rather than anyone else | as i'm trying to forget i find myself in the most passionate dance, hand in hand with the memory of myself | and i dance down the street, knocking on the doors | to find a warm bed to sleep, while my home doesn't seem to know me | my home doesn't seem to know me anymore
The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey
